Gaurav, to be honest 75 percentile for OBC is quite a less score even for the new IIMs.  The Old IIMs consider Candidates with percentiles more than 90. The new IIMs might consider lesser percentiles but again there are other factors that are considered while shortlisting candidates. Only 35-45% of the CAT score is considered. The rest weightage is given to your 10th, 12th, Graduation marks. For example, IIM Nagpur allows Candidates with lesser CAT percentiles if their academic scores have been consistent and been more than the required minimum. In such cases, the Academic scores compensate for the CAT percentile. Now we do not have your sectional cut offs and your Academic scores to guess your chances. So please use our pathfinder to check your chances: https://bschool.careers360.com/pathfinder/cat . Now, most new IIMs had their cut off percentiles between 78-85 percentiles. We shall help you with the cut off percentiles of few IIMs for your convenience.
