Hello,
Getting a call from any IIM depends on a lot of factors such as CAT percentile, graduation subject and percentage, class X and XII marks, work experience if any etc.
An engineer would require higher percentile than a candidate in B.Sc degree.
For a decent profile, to get a call from new and baby IIMs under OBC quota you need 95+ percentile. However this changes every year depending upon number of applicants.
And if your graduation and schooling percentage is low your target should be to secure 97+ percentile to get a sure shot call.
