Hello Aspirant,
Honestly speaking, it would be tad difficult for you to get call from top IIMs such as IIM A/B/C, this is because your academic performance is not quite good, so to have some chances you should try for 100 percentile in CAT if you belongs to General category, because your academic performance might not be able to push your chances of shortlisting so you have to make it through CAT score.
Why I am saying above point, let's understand with the admission criteria of some top IIMs
