Hello Rohan,
Firstly, congratulations for such a good percentile.
Now at Great Lakes, there is no fixed cutoffs and any minimum scores are decided on after the completion of the application process and review of the overall applicant pool as along with candidates cut off also varies every year.
Evaluation of candidates is done in a holistic manner and not just rely on aptitude score. Applicants are evaluated based on GMAT/CAT/XAT/CMAT scores, past academic performance, essays, work experience (if any) and performance in the interview. The selection process builds on a criterion that facilitates evaluating each applicant on Academic Abilities, Standardized Test Scores, Leadership and Interpersonal Skills, Integrity & Ethical Values and Diversity of Background.
So while the test scores are important, they emphasize more on selecting well-rounded candidates with a strong overall track record.
Though 91.32 percentile is a good score to get admission if you have a good profile along with it.
Apart from this as per your percentile you can apply to various good B-schools. Few of them are :
JBIMS Mumbai: Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies
SIMSREE Mumbai: Sydenham Institute of Management Studies And Research And Entrepreneurship Education
GIM Goa: Goa Institute of Management
SIMSR Mumbai: K J Somaiya Institute of Management Studies And Research
PUMBA: Department of Management Sciences University of Pune
IFMR Graduate School of Business at KREA University
Apart from these colleges you can also use cmat pathfinder of our site.

I hope this whole information helps you.
All the best !!
