IIM Kozhikode - Indian Institute of Management Answered Questions

One can't predict how much %ile would be sufficient for any category. The shortlist for PI depends upon you CAT score along with 10th, 12th and graduation scores, work ex and gender diversity as well. So, a CAT score of 88% and above for SC candidates and 10th,12th and graduation scores above 80% might help you get shortlisted for PI.

CAT percentile is an important factor in getting IIM call. Though your 10th and 12th percentage are low, you will get advantage of diversity for being from commerce background. Again it depends which IIM you want. For IIM ABC you should get more than 98 percentile. But you can get a call from IIM by scoring 80+ percentile.
