XLRI Jamshedpur: 13 Answered Questions
Do you know anyone who got into a top b-school (IIMs, XLRI, JBIMS, NM, IIFT, FMS etc.) with average UG percentage?
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.
What is the objective of admitting freshers in Ivy B-Schools like IIMs, FMS, JBIMS, SIMSREE, SPJIMR, XLRI, etc.?
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.
Can a 96 percentile in the CAT get admitted in XLRI or any IIMs?
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.
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?
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.
How should I work on my profile to get an admission at XLRI?
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.
Are less than 60 btech graduates given admission in FMS Delhi,XLRI.XIM and JBIMS Mumbai?
FMS Delhi, XLRI, XIMB, and JBIMS are all highly regarded B-schools in India that offer postgraduate management programs. As these programs are PG courses so they require candidates to have a bachelor's degree from a recognized university.
The number of seats and admission criteria for these programs may vary from year to year and depend on factors such as the number of applicants, the performance of the applicants in entrance exams, and the selection process of each institution. Below is a table of batch sizes of all these colleges;
|
Institution |

Approximate Batch Size |

|
XLRI |
PGDM |
360 |
|
XIMB |
MBA |
360 |
|
JBIMS Mumbai |
MMS |
120 |
Although all these institutes try to keep the batch as diverse as possible still the ratio of B.Tech and non-B.Tech is highly skewed towards B.Tech. So, it is unlikely that less than 60 B.Tech graduates are admitted to these institutions. These institutions typically have a rigorous selection process, and the number of seats available is usually limited.
However, the exact number of B.Tech graduates admitted to these institutions may vary depending on the specific program and admission cycle.

Further, the selected candidates are required to undergo the GD and PI rounds, based on these rounds the final admissions are granted.
Tips for Preparation:
- The percentile in XAT exam is calculated based on three major sections VALR, QADI, and DM. So one should concentrate on these three sections while preparing for XAT.
- It is essential to prepare as per the proper XAT pattern and indulge in as many mock tests as possible.
- Try to solve as many sample tests as possible in real time as time management is a key issue.
- For GD & PI round, hone your communication skills and surf the web for previously asked topics to prepare accordingly.
Campus Placement:
- Average placement rate has been around 90%
- Highest CTC offered was 48 LPA
- Average salary offered was 22.6 LPA

XLRI being an old and one of the most reputed institutes of the country is also ranked as the best private management college by various surveys. Getting into any college matters on how well prepared one is and how diligently the individual has worked for it. It is on the individual to carefully scrutinise the course in a particular college and then decide.
Can I get admission in XLRI Jamshedpur if I graduated 2 years before with no work experience?
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.
Can I get into IIM A/B/C or XLRI or SCMHRD?
Top management institutes in India like IIMs, XLRI, and SCMHRD require a combination of academic performance, entrance exam scores, work experience, extracurricular activities, and performance in selection rounds like Personal Interviews and Group discussions.
Top IIMs (A, B, C) have CAT cutoff percentiles of 99 or higher. XLRI's XAT cutoff is over 95 percentile, and SCMHRD's SNAP threshold is approximately 97 percentile. These cutoffs can change from year to year depending on factors including the number of applications and exam difficulty.
Academic performance is crucial but not the primary criterion for admittance. Admissions committees seek well-rounded applicants with leadership potential, great communication skills, and a demonstrated passion for the field. Thus, if an applicant excels in other areas, they can still get into a prestigious B-school despite poorer academics.
Top B-schools are competitive and require outstanding academic performance, high entrance exam scores, and strong applications.
How can a B.A. graduate (English language and literature) get admission in IIMs or XLRI?
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.
