Hi Vennela,
It depends on your category. If you belong to general category 99.8+ would be enough to sail through. However, Percentile is not the only criteria to get an admission but it is the first step. Interviewers judge your personality traits and gauge your capabilities in the interview before making you a final offer.

XAT can help you to get into XLRI. It is one of the top management institutes in India. MAT and even if you can be in top 10 ranks in India, you can get into JBIMS – Mumbai.
