For the older IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Lucknow, the cutoff percentile goes up to as high as 99+. For the comparatively newer IIMs in Kozhikode, Shillong, Raipur, Rohtak etc, the CAT percentile cutoff ranges from 90+95. The latest IIMs like Sirmaur, Jammu, Amritsar, Visakhapatnam etc. Cutoffs range from 80-90 percentile.

It depends on which tier IIM are you targeting.
So for new IIM aim above 93 percentile in CAT and top ones the cutoff goes like 99.5 above.
It also depends on your past academics and other details.
All the best.
