XLRI: A Dream Within A Dream

Admission at XLRI takes place through the XAT exam which is conducted in the first week of January every year. Around 90,000 people appear for it out of which around 10% are selected for the next round of interviews/GDPI. The form generally opens in the month of September and continues till the first week of December. It costs Rs. 2000 to apply for the common admission process while Rs.200 per program is charged to register for PGDM/PGDHRM course apart from the registration fee. XLRI does not offer any reservation benefits for category students. However, a reduction in cut-offs (generally in the range of 5-10 percentile) is offered for non-engineers and female students. The admission process is smooth and queries, if any, can be raised with the admissions office who try to reply as soon as possible.

Ques. Do you know anyone who got into a top b-school (IIMs, XLRI, JBIMS, NM, IIFT, FMS etc.) with average UG percentage?

● Top Answer By Ashish Metkar on 20 Feb 23

Yes, I do know a friend who managed to get calls from many top B Schools despite having an average Undergraduate Score. Her profile looked like this 10th- 76% 12th- 68% UG- 64% Although her marks witnessed a gradual decline, she was lucky enough to study at XLRI. Past academics are considered as one but not the major factors at XLRI, unlike IIMs that focus a lot on past academics. A good XAT and GD-PI score can compensate for your poor academic record at XLRI, FMS, and JBIMS. NITIE is a top B School that does not consider past academics at all. My friend with her average profile managed to convert NITIE, XIMB, and all the IIMs except for the top ones obviously. So we can safely assume that admission into these top B Schools is possible even with an average profile provided that you score excellently in the CAT or XAT and the GDPI round....Read more

Ques. Can a 96 percentile in the CAT get admitted in XLRI or any IIMs?

● Top Answer By Rashi Shahi on 28 May 21

For XLRI, you will have to appear in XAT. As for IIMs, the selection for admission varies depending on which category you belong to. General Category Male Engineers (GEM): You are most likely to get calls from the new IIMs. It is more or less the same for GEF except for the gender diversity points. General Category Non-Engineers: If you are from Arts background, expect a call from IIM A, B, C, even if you have only above 80% in 10/12/Undergrad. If you are a Commerce student you can expect a call from IIM I/K/S apart from the new IIMs. OBC/NCL Category: As the sectional cutoff is lower, you can expect a call from all IIMs except ABC if you are an engineer. Female and non-engineering students will have gender/academic diversity advantages. SC/ST Category: The required cutoff is fairly low for these two categories. But you will need decent past academics (at least 80%) to be eligible for top IIMs. But these are only the minimum requirements to get a call for WAT-PI at these institutes. To be selected for admission, you will need to perform well in the WAT-PI round too as the competition will be fierce....Read more

Ques. What is the objective of admitting freshers in Ivy B-Schools like IIMs, FMS, JBIMS, SIMSREE, SPJIMR, XLRI, etc.?

● Top Answer By Sandeep Biswas on 06 Mar 23

MBA admission in Indian B Schools is a fairly weird process in comparison to that of foreign B Schools. In India, the admission process requires a candidate to have some work experience and in certain B-schools, it even carries a certain weightage. But during Final Placements, this scenario changes entirely as the recruiters prefer freshers over experienced candidates. The major reasons for this contrast are: The recruiters offering Marketing roles are on the lookout for candidates who can initially go through a sales job for a few years. They believe that the route to Marketing is through sales only. Now Sales requires a lot of traveling that too to rural areas. The recruiters know that these tough job conditions cannot be undertaken by Experienced professionals and thus prefer freshers who they can mold easily. The companies offering Finance roles know that the candidates with prior work experience won’t be working for the long hours they require them to. So they prefer freshers who can work long hours without complaining. Recruiters are looking for candidates with work experience of not more than 11-12 months. Honestly, this strategy is illogical as a person with more work experience is bound to excel much better than a fresher, and restricting him from getting a job just because they cannot be exploited to the fullest extent is a bit cruel. The scenario is pretty much the opposite in foreign countries that prefer MBA candidates with work experience only. This is because in India MBA is considered a way to become more employable or earn a fatter cheque. Whereas in the West, it is a means to upgrade your career and take it to new heights. The entire concept of MBA is at fault in India thereby this illogical strategy. In my opinion, MBA candidates should have a work experience of at least 1 year, only then they can harness the MBA program to the fullest and not approach it just as a source of placements....Read more

Ques. Will I be eligible for an MBA in A grade B schools like IIMs XLRI, NMIMS, JBIMS, etc., with scores of 90.6 in the 10th standard and 70 in the 12th standard?

● Top Answer By Jayant Thakur on 06 Mar 23

As a candidate with a lower academic performance in the past, you are eligible for most of the business schools, except for a few, such as the Indian Institutes of Management in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, and Lucknow, which place a greater emphasis on previous academic records. However, XLRI is good news for you, as it does not consider your previous academics when shortlisting candidates. Additionally, SPJain may consider extending you a profile-based admission offer if your CAT score is at least 85 or higher and you have something unique in your profile. Other top business schools, such as NITIE Mumbai, MDI, and NMIMS, are easily within reach for you. It is recommended that you focus on making the most of your current educational journey and not let your past academic performance impact your future opportunities. Aim to prepare well for the CAT exam, aiming for a top score, and accumulate as many quality resume points as possible to develop a unique and impressive profile for yourself. However, do not forget to live the life of an engineer, taking full advantage of your education. If you gain at least 2 years of work experience, you may consider taking the GMAT and applying to the Indian School of Business, which may consider extending you an admission offer....Read more

Ques. Can I get admission in XLRI Jamshedpur if I graduated 2 years before with no work experience?

● Top Answer By Gaurav Sharma on 18 Apr 23

Two years is a significant career gap. After graduation, work experience can help with admissions. If you don't have any work experience, you still have a chance, but you will have to justify why there was a gap due to active pursuit rather than sloth or a lack of motivation. You can say you were busy with hobbies, interests, a start-up, a blog, an internship, a certification course, a freelance job, or social services or apathy....Read more

Ques. How should I work on my profile to get an admission at XLRI?

● Top Answer By Arnav Singh on 18 Jun 21

Unlike admissions to B schools in other countries, Indian B schools place more importance on test scores than on a profile. So, the first step is to begin studying for the XAT. Here are some of the tips that you may find useful. The preparation would be comparable to that for the CAT, however, there is an additional section for decision making that you can learn from the official GMAT guide's Critical Reasoning portion. As all these portions are not included in the cutoffs, a little essay writing practice and brushing up on GK during the last few days would be beneficial. Continue to improve the GD-PI and communication skills, as you may not get enough time to prepare after the announcement of the interview date. As for the profile, NGO experiences can be useful during interviews. Make sure everything you claim is genuine since faking it in front of an experienced panel can backfire. If you are working for a company, try to learn as much as possible because anything could be questioned during the interview, especially on the specialization you want to pursue at XLRI....Read more

● Top Answer By Rimjhim Ghosh on 18 Apr 23

You have the same odds as other XLRI applicants. Your psychology major is not a disadvantage. XLRI requires a 3-year bachelor's degree after 12th grade, an entrance exam, and a group discussion/personal interview for all applicants. Academic excellence may boost a candidate's evaluation. XLRI interviews candidates who score over the minimum cutoff in the admission exam (XAT) and do well in the GD round. Different selection criteria are weighted....Read more

Ques. How can a B.A. graduate (English language and literature) get admission in IIMs or XLRI?

● Top Answer By Satadru Ghosh on 07 Jul 21

Basically, for IIMs you need to appear for the CAT (Common Admission Test) exam which is the national level entrance exam conducted all over India. Usually, the dates with the entire notification regarding CAT release in the last week of August and the exam takes place normally in the last week of November or the first week of December. After the announcement of results in January, if you qualify for the cut-off score, you get a call from the IIMs for further group discussion and personal interviews. To get into XLRI, you need to appear for XAT by qualifying which means you can get admission in any of the XLRI among 11 institutes. This exam is usually conducted in January for getting admission in the institutes. Now coming to the preparations, if you are confused regarding the syllabus or from which portion you should start preparing, firstly carry out the research regarding the syllabus and go ahead with your preparation. You can even join the coaching classes specially designed for management exams so that you get the right direction for your preparation or else you can attend the mock tests series so that you get a real glimpse of the paper. Following the above strategy, you can crack the exams and get admission in IIMs or XLRI depending on your choice....Read more
