Hi Clive,
The minority cut-offs differ for each college and for each academic year depending on the complexity of the qualifying exam and the median scores obtained by students. Usually they are always significantly lower than the general cut-off, however it depends on the number of seats available and scores of minority students.
For XIMR:
The cut-off is usually decided basis your CET score and not your percentile. For the year 2016, the cut-off was somewhere around 100-110. However, this does not imply that this pattern might be carried forward next year as well as due to an increase in high rankers, many students with very good percentiles did not make it to their desired colleges.
I'd say study hard, give it your best shot and hope for the best!

Post-graduation is a level of study which you are free to choose not that it is essential to enter into all kinds of work fields but it definitely gives you an edge, an advantage over others who haven't completed PG. Pursuing post-graduation in one of the most developed countries of the world is definitely more meaningful. Germany provides students pursuing PG with not only adequate facilities and opportunities but also gives them one of the most advanced and scientific learning processes.
Since the medical studies field is very developed in the Germany, MS, MDS and post-graduate medical specialisations are some of the most sought after courses of the country. Thousands of students apply for PG residency courses in Germany each year. One of the biggest positive factors about higher education in Germany is that academic excellence is the only aspect considered during admission into the different programs there are no quotas or reservations. Many PG specialisation courses in the country are provided in English and students don't need to know the German language. However, a basic working knowledge of the language will help one to get around. Certain courses call for a basic level of proficiency in German and applicants might need to appear for the A1/A2 level exams for these.
The best part about studying post-graduation in Germany is the marked tuition fees which can be something around 500 euros per semester. Other expenses include payment to the University for various benefits, living expenses which are usually around 740 euros per month and travel expenses to home country and back. The blocked account system makes a student pay the total sum of a year's expense before admission and keeps it locked. He or she can withdraw only a pre-decided, fixed amount each month for covering their expenses. This helps to keep the expenditure under control. A student visa does not take much time for activation and is usually provided within 8 to 12 weeks from the time of submission of application.
More than 400 universities in Germany await applicants for post-graduate courses each year and those successfully complete their courses find employment within the country or elsewhere in Europe with ease.
