Dear Tushar, as a Candidate belonging to OBC-NC, the sectional cut offs for various IIMs have been as follows:
                               QA             DLR            VARC       Overall
Ahmedabad        65               65                65                 70
Bangalore            70               70                70                 75
Calcutta               65               65                65                 70
Indore                  70               70                 70                 80
Lucknow              77               77                77                 82
Method of scoring differs from IIM to IIM.
IIM Bangalore:
CAT = 40
10th board = 20
12th board = 10
Bachelors = 20
Gender Diversity = 2
Work Experience = 8
The 40 points for CAT are derived from the performance in each of the three sections as follows:
Verbal & Reading Comprehension - 14 points
Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning - 16 points Quantitative Aptitude - 10 points.
IIM Calcutta:
CAT 2019 Score 30
Personal Interview 48
Written Ability Test 10
Academic Diversity 04
Work Experience 08
Total 100
IIM Indore:
10th Standard: 36*[Z Candidate-Z min/Z max- Z min]
12th Standard: 40*[Z Candidate-Z min/Z max- Z min]
CAT 2019 score: 20*[Candidate's overall score /Highest CAT score]
Gender Diversity Factor: = 4 for female applicants
                                               =0 for other applicants
Composite score= sum of the above scores
IIM Lucknow:
Common Admission Test: 30
Academic Performance (12th + Graduation): 5+5
Diversity Factor (DF academics +DF gender): 5
Work Experience: 5
Writing Ability Test: 10
Personal Interview: 40
Final Score: 100

When you say scoring well, it should be nothing less than 90 percentile. . CAT exam is not something where in you are either declared PASS or FAIL. Its a measure of your performance among other applicants. Better the percentile, fairer the chance of getting into Top B schools. For example, if your score is 90 percentile, it means you did better than 90 percent of the Candidates who applied. Now cracking CAT and faring better than a certain percent of Candidates totally depends on how you prepare. To get into IIMs considering your OBC-NC Category and your Academic marks your CAT percentile should be nothing less than 95.

Dear Tushar, now the top IIMs and other business schools have changed the criteria for giving admissions to student. Talking about your score in academics, if you score excellent in CAT, then you can get call from any IIMs. But scoring high in CAT is the first step. After CAT there are many rounds organised by the particular college like Extempore, GD,PI. The score of all of these in addition to the score of your CAT will finalise your admission in any college. Sometimes there are students who don't do well in CAT and they have high scores in 10th, 12th, even they get call from IIM-A, b and C. So, just by looking at your marks it's impossible to predict which college you can get. Do well in CAT and prepare simultaneously prepare for other rounds also.

All the best 

Hope this helps
