Yes, you can expect a call from IIMs. You will have to secure a good percentile. Eligibility criteria for the IIMs is that you need to have at least 60% in 10th,12th and graduation. On top of this, you will have to clear CAT cutoff (and at times a composite score ). CAT cutoff usually goes as high as 99.5 percentile. Hence, I would suggest that you do really well in CAT.

Class 10th and 12th % doesn't matter for getting into IIM. But they maybe considered during placement. But thats ok in your case. It shows that you have uplifted your standard from 10th to 12th and then maintained it in your UG degree. You'll have to appear for CAT exam. Requirement is minimum 50% in any UG degree, you are far ahead. Performing well will help you keep a high percentile and you may get the call from any of the IIMs you were waiting for. All the best !!
