IIM Kozhikode evaluates your academic accomplishments in this manner- 75% for CAT score, 20% for class 12th score, and 5% for academic diversity.

You have an average academic performance throughout, and do not belong to the academic diversity quota. In this case, a CAT percentile of 99.2+ will be required to get you a call from IIMK. After which, your admission will be based on your performance in GD PI. My brother had the same score in his 12th boards as you. He ended up receiving a call at 99.25 percentile.

Try getting a high CAT score to get a call from IIM Kozhikode.

The IIMs generally have a 2-3 stage process of admission but IIM Kozhikode follows an admission process that is a 3 stage one. It is described as follows:

The candidates are shortlisted for stage 2 on the basis of their overall percentile in CAT and the sectional percentiles. Currently, the cutoff for the candidates in the General category is 85 percentile and that for the sectional percentile is 75 percentile.
The candidates who are shortlisted for the second stage are further shortlisted on the basis of their Aggregate Index Score or AIS. This composite score is based on factors such as work experience, scores in academics, diversity in academics, and/or gender. This year, the AIS has laid stress on the CAT percentile, class 12 board exam score, and academic diversity.
The third round comprises the WAT-PI round. The four components of this stage are the scores of CAT, Personal Interview, Essay, and Resume. A final shortlist is prepared by keeping in mind the composite score that is obtained by the addition of the scores of the respective components.

The required percentile changes every year so it is difficult what percentile will ensure a call. So, keep a target of 99 percentile, to be safe.

Keep yourself up to date in general knowledge, HR-based questions, academics, current affairs to stand out in the interviews. Work experience is also a big plus.
