IIM Udaipur is outright incomparable to IIT Madras. This is because while IIT Madras is an excellent educational institution, it specializes in technological studies and not in Management. Meanwhile IIM Udaipur despite being a new IIM has set itself apart from its competitors owing to the following reasons
Overall you will experience a very student driven culture and create many amazing memories.
In most ways, IIM Udaipur and IIM Kashipur are similar. In terms of infrastructure, Kashipur had the first permanent building. But now Udaipur has as well. In terms of faculty, there isn't much of a difference; both are world-class in this regard.
Now comes the most crucial fact placement. Both are nearly identical in this case. Placement in the BFSI sector is the same in both. Kashipur is only four hours from Delhi and is located in a better industrial hub, so opportunities in sales and marketing are better. However, placement in the IT, consulting, and analytic sectors is better in Udaipur.
All the IIMs offer great educational loans so financial problems are not a major issue here. Many banks are lined up to offer loans at very low interest to the students at the time of admission. The ROI is also great compared to DBE. Apart from that the IIM tag will also open multiple opportunities for you. But if you are confused about the 3 IIMs, I will enlighten you about the culture of each. This might help you make a better decision.
IIM Udaipur: Academic rigor
IIM Raipur: Discipline
IIM Kashipur: Overall rigor
So make the choice based on your own preferences.
The current leading USP of IIM Udaipur is its highly enriched research culture which has made it among the top IIMs in this aspect specifically. The NIRF rankings also speak of its rising status over the last few years. Some highlights of the FPM program from IIM Udaipur are
Some world-class faculties from IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta visit the campus of IIM Udaipur to spread their knowledge and sophistication to FPM students. This is done through coaching programs and workshops where you can identify your inclinations and talents.
The faculty of the FPM department is dynamic and capable of a concerted arrangement required to produce research through its students and themselves.
Research is something that requires your efforts at a personal level. So joining a 2-year Research program will be beneficial to you only. You can also switch to better research programs or even redo your Ph.D.
To initiate a career in research, one needs serious personal commitment, else there are many instances wherein people have failed to make a career in research. The newer IIMs offer little scope in this aspect and Udaipur is an exception. So don’t lose this opportunity and go for it without much thought.

Comparing the above data with your profile derive the following conclusions
But I believe your work experience and excellent CAT score can compensate for your low UG marks. So ace in the PA process and you are good to go.
Your gender and category play a very insignificant role in determining your chances of getting admission. As a girl you will be given 5 marks extra owing to gender diversity. And your Category will require you percentile lesser than the general category. But these factors are not the major parameters for selecting candidates. The major criterias include your past academic records and work experience. The weightages allotted to these components can be checked from the official website.
Considering your profile here is my opinion regarding the percentile required to guarantee your admission.
Please note that this is guaranteed only if you clear category specific cut-offs.
MDI Gurgaon does, however, provide the best opportunity of the three. Because IIM A serves as its mentor, IIM Udaipur benefits from excellent pedagogy.
An IIM designation is a tasty differentiator, but most corporations do not differentiate in MBA programs except ABC.
MDI provides the best placements of the three. And, as an MBA graduate, you're all about the numbers. No college can guarantee you the job you want. However, at MDI, you will have plenty of opportunities in the field of your choice. You'll also benefit from good industry relationships built over years of goodwill. Even during downturns, some companies attend MDI on a regular basis. New IIMs have several years to build self-sustaining industry goodwill. Placements are thus unpredictable.
Nonetheless, if the IIM designation is a general requirement. The location is the new IIMs. However, you must work equally hard because that title alone does not guarantee a successful career.
IIM Trichy, Ranchi, Raipur, Udaipur, Kashipur, and Rohtak are way ahead of SIOM and SIBM-B.

You will be astonished to know that the lowest package at these IIMs is almost equal to the average package at SIOM and SIBM-B.
Moreover, IIMs is in itself a brand and therefore promises better growth. This is the reason that these new IIMs despite their early establishment are at par with SIBM-Pune and SCMHRD.
