Sorry to say this, but there is no minimum percentile, it depends on your past marks and also, your peers. As a cumulative, score is considered for calling people for interviews.

One of my friend who belongs to OBC category got 93% in CAT and this time selected for IIM, Kozikode. So if you got at least 90% in CAT exam than you get a call for GD and PI or WAT or PI round.

As an OBC category student to get calls from top Iims like IIM A, B, and C you need to have above 98+ percentile. For other old Iims like IIM K, L, and I. You need to have above 95+ percentile and 97+ to increase the probability of your conversion.
