Yes, you have a good chance to get shortlisted, if you score above 98 in CAT. It will however also depend on your academic and gender diversity and what is your exact CAT score and graduation. Usually, a late 98s and in your case, since you have 74% in graduation, an early or mid-99 would secure you a call from IIMK. Having said this, each year the selection criteria changes and you have to be updated by checking the official IIMK website (www.iimk.ac.in).
