All IIMS have different criteria and weightage to the academia profile of a student. So, it is better if you go through the eligibility criteria of you specifically listed institutes. Good luck.

If you can manage to get really good percentile in the CAT exam then that can leverage your low marks in graduation.

In today's time, all we want is a high placement from a college so prefer the best college for MBA. No matter from where you pursued your Bachelor's degree, go for CAT preparation. If you will score around 99-100 percentile, you may get a call from IIM.

There are less chances to get admission in IIMs but first check for the requirements of the IIMs because it sometimes depend from college to college.

No, with this score there is almost no chance together into an IIM. But you can search for top 100 B-Schools which offer MBA courses. While choosing such a college do look for reviews and consult faculty members before joining.
