Hello Yash,
If you are planning to take CAT exam, it is a very good decision.
CAT exam has topics related to maths like arithmetics and reasoning.
B.Sc (MPCS) is better than B.Sc (PCM) because, in computers, you are able to know more about the computers and as well as maths. And also computers having a huge scope than chemistry nowadays. Another thing, computers is also helpful in MBA.
I am also a B.Sc in MPCS student.

Hello! There is no fixed cutoff as such, clearing which will lead to an IIM interview call as there are various factors included while considering a candidate for an interview call. For safe side, try to achieve a score of 99+ percentile(for old IIMs) and 95+ (new IIMs). All the best!

Just that the difficulty level for CAT will be much higher and IBPS is relatively easy to crack as compared to CAT.
The topics are almost the same.

To get admission into any good B-school, one must appear for the entrance exam(s) whose score is considered by that particular B-school for its further interview process. So it is impossible to get admitted into a top B-school without appearing for the various entrance exams like CAT, XAT, etc.

Dear Akash,
This is the real test for MBA, how did you manage your time? See, time management is essential for cracking CAT. According to me, what you can do is every day give your 2 hours for CAT preparation. Once you get the free time from your engineering lectures, don't start new topic for CAT but revise what you studied earlier because, in this panic situation, it is very likely that you forget either CAT concepts or your B.Tech concepts and both are necessary for top B-School. Remember, scoring 99%ile in CAT may not get you a prestigious MBA college, but you have to equally focus on your B.Tech score card as it has a lot of weight

CAT percentile to get selected in these institutes is on the higher side. Generally score around 98-99 percentile and above is required. Along with a good academic/work profile.
