Hello Manish, The percentile for different IIMs differs. The best IIM is IIM A( IIM Ahmedabad) . You must score 99 percentile for IIM A. The percentile may vary from 90 to 99 across different IIMs. There is reservation for certain castes also.

Anywhere around 70 percentile for OBC quota will fetch you admission at a top MBA college.

For old IIMs you need to score 95+% with good academic background for other good colleges 90+% is enough.
