What would be an approx score I should target to anticipate calls from any IIMs?

Hi guys.

First of all, I'd like to congratulate all the IIM call getters and wish you all the best, not just for getting through GD/PIs, but also through the MBA course...

I have a question, I looked at the threads and scores of people who have got calls in various IIMs. I would like to know if I really stand a change to get a call if I manage a decent CAT score or would I require a exceptionally high score to stand any chance at all, below I have mentioned my profile?

I have started preparing for CAT this year [2008], this will be my first attempt. I have a lot of plans, strategies in mind, I have already begun putting my plans into action.

Xth: 84.8% (CBSE)
XIIth: 88.2% (CBSE)

B.Tech (College Of Engineering Roorkee, U.P.Tech University) : 77.9%

1.5 years work exp. (currently)
GATE : 12th Rank in 2006.
I have a handful of certifications SCJP, SCWCD.

Can anybody give me a certain idea as to what kind of score I should target? (of course, my target is as much as possible, but I want to know if I really have any realistic chances at all, given that I get only a decent score [95-99%ile] and not an exceptionally high score [99.50+%ile].

I know the trends are different each year, and even changes from college to college. I also know that to even achieve these moderately decent scores I would need to work hard, but I just wanted to know if I really stand a chance given the fact that most of the shortlisted candidates are from IITs/IIITs/BITS/NITs etc...

"CAT 2008 Aspirants" thread would be a better place to post your query.
