It all depends upon which IIM you get shortlisted, but considering your percentile in CAT 2023 that is 70, a very good chance stands by your side if the cutoff will be met by you in terms of that IIM.
For example, IIM Ahmedabad will set the minimum overall cutoff at 60 percentile for ST candidates while others may be different. Normally, top IIMs such as IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta are higher with cut-off values generally more than 90 percentile in most of the cases but relax it for the reserved categories.

The Common Admission Test (CAT) 2024 introduced several notable changes compared to previous years. Here are the key changes:
1. Increased Number of Questions:
- The total number of questions was increased from 66 to 68.
- This increase was specifically in the DILR section, which now had 22 questions instead of 20.
2. Removal of Para-Jumbles in VARC:
- The VARC section no longer included para-jumbles questions.
- This was a significant change as para-jumbles had been a staple of the CAT exam for many years.
3. Changes in VARC Question Format:
- The VARC section mixed VA questions with RC passages instead of grouping them

- First of you congrats for scoring that percentile The final CAT cut off percentile is usually around 90-95 percentile, so you can take admission in IIM KozhikodeThe minimum CAT cut-off for IIM Kozhikode is 85 percentile for general category candidates. The cut-off is lower for other categories: 75 percentile for NC-OBC/EWS, 65 percentile for SC, and 55 percentile for ST/PwD candidates.So I suggest to apply for all IIMS. I will hope that u will get the IIM u wish
