Dear Deepan, in 2018, the cut offs for shortlisting for IIM-K for various Categories are as follows:

CAT Score Sectional       X Class    XII Class
Percentile Percentile    %           %
GEN 90 80       60 60
OBC NC 80 70      60 60
SC 65 50     55 55
ST/PWD 55 40     55 55

Now those Candidates who have selected IIM-K and fulfil this criteria should register themselves. Only successfully registered Candidates will be shortlisted for further rounds which are WAT and PI based on Aggregate Index Score. The Aggregate Index score os calculated as follows:

CAT 2020 Index Score: 75%
Class XII Percentage: 20%
Academic Diversity Factor: 5%

And the final Composite score is calculated as follows:

CAT 2020 Index Score: 40%
PI: 30%
Essay: 20%
Resume: 10%

So if you can manage to get 99% in CAT and do well in WAT and PI, you can get a seat in IIM-K

Absolutely if you perform well in CAT and in GD/PI you can get any IIMs. For the top 5 IIMs i.e. Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Lucknow, Calcutta and Kozhikode you need to have a minimum of 99 percentile considering your past academic records. 

Moreover if you work on your profile and make it strong by participating in national level competitions or doing certain courses or jobs you can easily get a call at even 97-98 percentile. 

So give your best and hope you'll get the college you want. 

All the very best 

IIM Kozhikode
