One of my close friends attended Great Lakes at Gurgaon and here are some tips based on her experience.
In 2020, the required CMAT cutoff at the institute was 85%. So, you are eligible for the institute but try to make your profile better as the CMAT score alone is not enough to get selected for admission.
The cut-off you require mostly depends upon the course you are intending to pursue, your community (presuming your home state is Tamil Nadu itself) or ICAR exam score, and category.
On a general note, usually securing an average of about 190 or more will supposedly keep you on the safer side to help obtain admission in any course of the institute. For more information about the UG course, you can follow the official website.
Here are the CMAT cutoff for some of the participating institutes.

IFMR CMAT cutoff varies each year, depending on various factors such as the number of candidates appearing for the exam, the difficulty level of the exam, and the availability of seats. Based on past trends, CMAT cutoff for IFMR has been around 80-85 percentile in recent years.
It's important to note that the cutoff is not the only factor considered in the admission process. Other factors such as academic record, work experience (if any), extracurricular activities, and performance in the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds also play a crucial role in the final selection.
While the CMAT cutoff is a significant factor in the admission process, it's not the only one. So, if you're planning to apply to IFMR, it's recommended that you aim for a score higher than the cutoff to increase your chances of getting selected.
Thapar University removed CSE Hons. a few years ago. Now the students of Computer Engineering can opt for extra credits by choosing animation/machine learning as an elective. As these courses no longer exist on their own, there aren’t any individual cutoffs for admission to them.
There is no exact cutoff for B.Sc Physics. Loyola cutoff varies each year, based on competition. The required cutoff also depends on other factors such as caste and religion.
Overall, if you have an aggregate of around 80% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, there’s a good chance that you will get a shortlist.
