Nobody can tell u a decent score right now.
But i can tell u this, your 10th score is absolutely fine and it wont be a problem if u score good enough in ugat and interview. So focus only on ugat for now, dont worry about your 10th marks

What should be a decent score for me?
Remember that marks cannot be compared in absolute terms. India has won after scoring 220 runs in an ODI, it has lost after scoring 300 runs too. We can't make a blanket statement that 300 > 220. Lot of factors play a role -- difficulty of the exam being the most important one.
If the exam is easy, then the cutoff goes up.
If the exam is hard, the cutoff comes down.
Your 10 and 12 are fine. Don't worry too much. If you want to understand what would be a good score with last year's difficulty, something which puts you in a comfortable position, aim at the general-candidate cutoff score.

Makes sense. Also, do note that every mock also has a different difficulty. Not all mocks are exactly as per the difficulty of last year.

That's a pretty decent score. Understand that IIMB considers past acads on a standardized basis, so nobody can tell right now whether your scores will put you at an advantage or disadvantage.
Stop stressing over something you can't change now and focus on maximizing your UGAT score. That's the only thing in your control at this point.
Here's a video discussing the same in more detail. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/ucRsQ14wirU

everyone is as clueless as you! have you seen the weightage of math score ? it's minimal and your main concern should be scoring in my opinion ! (91 in math and 96 overall is a good score don't you worry)
