Hi Paurvi,
To get admission in IIM A, B, C, it is mandatory to take CAT and achieve a good score. Simply, looking at the percentages, it is very difficult to guess, if you can get a call. In case, you secure a good CAT score, your application rating should be good considering these scores.

Minimum score required to get admission in IIM-A is nearly between 90.00 to 100.0 percentile.

Go with your interest, rather than only going toward IT. If you like IT, then go for Systems or IT Management, as your major specialization. And, for minor, it depends on your interest it may be finance or marketing, as many colleges have rule that out of 2 major and minor, one should be marketing or finance.

To get into IIMs, you need to get around 99% in CAT and to get into reputed B-schools you need more than 80%. Your competitors matter and how the exam is going to be evaluated also matters. Every year evaluation criteria changes. Keep a close eye on the exam patterns and be in touch regularly with your coaching institute, they will help you get better.
