Hello Sandeep,
Either of these degrees would do to get admission into any B-school in India. There is no compulsion for an aspirant to pursue a particular degree or set of it. Choose the one which suits your interests and career goals more.

Hello Satish! All the IIMs accept scores of only Common Admission Test(CAT) exam, and no other entrance exam. And this is true for each and every year.

Hello Amruta!
Your academic scores, so far, are quite excellent. Just try to secure similar score in your B Com too, as the IIMs give significant weightage to a candidate's past academic scores. Also, scoring well in the CAT exam is also crucial in getting selected for the IIM's interview rounds. Finally, a good performance in those rounds will ensure your admission. All the best!

For an average student, it is impossible to get admission in an IIM or any top B-school. The reason being, the level of CAT and other entrance exams is quite high as well the competition is intense. The criteria and admission processes of these B-schools is such that only the best of the aspirants get selected. Even after getting admission into any top B-school, one has to tackle the challenging MBA study curriculum which again is not easy (if not difficult). I have no intention of scaring you, but this is the reality.

Not all, but a majority of the students studying in the top 20 B-schools in India fetch a good salary package. However, it all depends upon their skills and their performance in the interviews too.

As the difficulty level of CAT varies every year, there is no fixed score which can assure you of getting a call for the IIM's interview rounds. However, going by the past trends, a score of around 95 percentile and above should be enough to get a call.
CAT is of a total 300 marks, with 100 questions to be attempted in three hours.
