Hi Anu,
Chances are very low. If you have extremely good profile only then can you expect a call from IIM Ahmedabad. Kindly refrain from wasting time on IIMs. Refer to the below link to know which other colleges can you apply!

Along with CAT score all the colleges in which you apply makes a merit list to call the students for the second round of interview and WSAT which is made in the basis of your aggregate score and which is based on different parameters such as CAT marks, 10th, 12th and graduation percentage, work experience, engineer or non-engineer, gender etc. whose weightage vary according to different colleges.
Good Luck!
You need to score 99+ percentile (if you're of general category) to receive a call from IIM A,B & C and 10th/12th Marks should also be more than 90 percent. Work-ex also plays a role in these top IIMs and majority of the students are selected with work-ex and according to my experience, 2 years of work-ex is adequate. All the best.
Integrated BBA MBA courses offered at IIM Indore only and to get admission into IIM Ahmedabad the only way is to appear for CAT therefore if you want to do BBA then you need to switch for some other colleges and look for other opportunities because IIMA does not offer it
With a AR score of 20 and a CAT percentile of 98.6 in the year 2016 the person did not get a call from the old IIM'S. So I think this shoish give you a picture.
Also one very important point is that CAT is based off percentile. Meaning your rank is based in relation to the people you wrote with in that year. It is relative. So a specific number cannot be given as cat score.
One major plus point is your humanities background. IIM'S are pushing big time for diversity and with a good profile, you stand a great chance!
All the best!
