Hello Abhilash,
As per your percentile, it is very difficult to get a seat at DOMS, IIT-Madras. The CAT percentile should be 94+ for IIT-Madras, but they also look at your profile.
CAT 2017 cut-off will depend upon various factors. Some of the factors determining CAT cut-off can be mentioned as follows:
Difficulty level of exam
Number of test takers
Number of candidates qualifying the exam
Number of seats
Institute repute or ranking
As per trends, if the difficulty level of CAT 2017 is high, the CAT cut-off will be low and vice versa. Generally, the old IIMs and top B-Schools such as FMS, University of Delhi, MDI Gurgaon, etc., have CAT cut-off over 99 percentile. New IIMs and other top B-Schools have cut-off ranging from 90 percentile or above.

There are a number of books which you can follow for the GATE, just read thoroughly each chapter whichever book you follow. I am suggesting you some books:-
for production: - Production operations by Allen Robert (vol-1 & vol-2),
for Drilling - Well engineering and construction by H. Rabia,
for Reservoir - fundamentals of reservoir engineering by L.P Dake & book by Tariq Ahmed and for
Logging - Log interpretation principles and operations- Schlumberger.
Also, there are many books and handbooks which you can follow. Just remember don't follow so many books but complete each section of petroleum engineering from one book of each section.
Thank You!

To be very honest from admission point of view, be ready to face the worst during first 3 rounds, but hey don't be disappointed.
After 3 rounds maybe in 4th round you might get some good college or the 5th round which is only for the government colleges.
But the main turning point is the spot rounds, as far as I know almost every private college in Mumbai in pune college has their respective spot rounds which might range from additional 23 rounds after the DTE rounds. If you have patience and apply for good college you might get it easily. For an instance IT cutoff for 4th DTE round was 143 whereas through spot round the last student to enter had 113 marks, so you notice the difference.
