Hi Barnad, the process for joining MBA in finance or HR in IIM is:

• Candidate needs to appear for CAT (Common Admission Test) conducted by IIMs.
• To appear for CAT, candidate must hold 50% marks in graduation. Candidate in the final year of graduation are also eligible to appear for CAT.
• Once you meet the cutoff for IIM, you will get a call for Group Discussion and Personal Interview round.

Thank You! Good Luck! 

I am assuming you are from general category. Based on your overall academic profile, you will need to score atleast 98.5 percentile in CAT to get a call for the next round.

All the best!
