Hi Utkarsh, you have quite a profile, and its unfortunate that these IIMs require an excessively high score to intake students for their courses. Since you are planning on Engineering Management, I would say a score near 315-320 is good, but if you can manage a score above it (seeing your CAT percentile I highly feel like you will) then it is great too. However GRE plays only a small role in your profile, rest is on your GPA, SOPs, LORs and work ex too. You can get good LORs since VIT is reputed and people know of it even abroad. SOPs are something you may need to work on early, once you shortlist your unis. Your GPA and work ex are good enough to get into a decent school as well!
You can use the college finder tool to predict which unis you can get into with the best chances (It is a machine learning based product, so take it with a grain of salt): https://yocket.com/college-finder 
Now obviously, you know your limit and you can aim for unis higher in ranking too if you wish to!
You can check the explore tool to find what top unis are available for MEM: https://yocket.com/universities?c_name=United%20States&s_name=rank&s_order=asc&pc_name=Engineering%20Management%20Mem
