Minimum cut off can vary from 70% to 80-85%. This would depend upon the other NC-OBC candidates. The total number of seats reserved for this category candidates is 27% of the total seats. -
Getting an interview call depends on your 10th std score, 12th as well as graduation percentage; and not just CAT percentile. Hence, one cannot say with certainty what the minimum cut-off for general or any specific caste-category is. IIM Shillong also encourages diversity in its participants' backgrounds, which can help with peer learning.

Hi!
We can never be sure of what percentile be minimum for a call from any of the IIMs but trusting the last years's pattern, I can fairly say that 90%ile and above can be a good score in this category. It depends on a particular college, what weightage they are holding for CAT Score.
IIM Shillong has no reservation for OBCs but it does have for SC/STs. Other IIMs do have a quota for OBCs. One of my friends from this category did make it to IIM Lucknow and his percentile was in the lower 90s.
So, all the best. Hope you make it.
