Hello Chaitanya,
IIMA's shortlisting criteria for last year can be found at https://web.iima.ac.in/users/admission/files/Shortlisting Criteria for PGP 2017-19 batch_110117.pdf.

Yes, definitely you are eligible for both the IIMs, provided you score their desired CAT cutoff.

The competition is fierce and they also look at the profile.
