The admission in Iims are based on percentile scores in Common Admission Test (CAT). The other important factors considered in selection are past academic record, work experience, Personal Interview, What etc. The weightage given to various components in selection at IIM Bangalore are given below for an idea.
1. CAT : 25%
2. PI : 30%
3. What : 10%
4. Bachelors Degree : 10%
5. Work Experience : 10%
6. 10th Marks : 10%
7. 12th Marks : 05%
So from academic performance is contributed about 25%, while CAT score and PI are for 55%. Your academic performance is good but CAT score and PI needs to be address. For selection point of view you needs to obtained above 98 percentile in CAT for more probability.

First, You should have syllabus with yourself and then read the preparation tips of the toppers. Then make your preparation plan according to your convenience and arrange the study material which will help you to plan and after few months start solving previous year papers.

As of now, just be consistent in your efforts and try to score as high as possible in CAT. That should be your prime focus. Interview and selection should be a secondary concern to you but I will mention a few insights.
10th and 12th marks are of concern but if you get the interview call, prepare well for it. You must showcase some achievements apart from academics and must have full knowledge about it as they will ask you in detail about it. Apart from that, do maintain polite behavior as there are people from the Organisational Behaviour area taking the interview. Make sure your answers are logical and have proof or fact attached to it. I think with this you can definitely crack any IIM.

The admissions in IIMs are based on percentile obtained in Common Admission test (A Management Entrance Test). The academic performance, Group discussion, Personal Interview, Work experience and Extra curricular activities are the other parameters considered in selection of the candidates. For admission point of view you have to obtain at lest 98 percentile in CAT exam. While the minimum cutoff is above 80 percentile. In academic performance, the marks are given according to the percentage obtained in class 10th, class 12th and in graduation. Hence, you are not getting the full marks for your academic performance.
