In last years the sectional cutoff has been 80 percentile for all the three sections for the IIMs. However it may vary to some extent in the selection process for old IIMs which depends on their selection policy for that particular year.
Anyways try to maximise your score in all sections because that makes your total percentile better.
All the best!
