To get into top-tier institutes like JBIMS or SIMSREE, a percentile of 99.9+ is typically required, which usually translates to a score of 340-360+. For other reputable B-schools like KJ Somaiya, GIM, or Great Lakes, a percentile of 95-98 (score of 285-320) is considered very competitive. Scores between 200 and 250 generally land in the 80-90 percentile range, which is sufficient for many good AICTE-approved private universities.
