Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert.
Wish you luck.

Both the campuses are equally good with a few shortcomings. Indore is located in a very good place but has a batch strength of 600 students which makes placement a bit tougher. Kozhikode has a small batch strentgh but located in relatively remote place. Hope it helps in selection.

One can't predict how much %ile would be sufficient for any category. The shortlist for PI depends upon you CAT score along with 10th, 12th and graduation scores, work ex and gender diversity as well. So, a CAT score of 88% and above for SC candidates and 10th,12th and graduation scores above 80% might help you get shortlisted for PI.
