Hello saumya,
As you have secured 85 percentile in cat 2022 so let me tell you will most probably clear the cut off criteria but it's difficult to tell about your pi because pi totally depends on your personal attributes . You need to be strong at your communication skills.
As far as your grade is concerned it's a pretty decent score and you would get the full points for your 10th and 12th results.
Although various factors are considered while deciding the cut offs like number of vacant seats in college, previous years cut offs and difficulty level of the paper.
