Make sure you give the honest answer but try to be smart with it. They are always looking for answers that show your potential and how you cna present even the worst things about your CV in a positive way.

- But along with the XAT scores, Individuals possessing good academic background along with relevant work experience and extra-curricular activities stays in the upper hand.
- Your former academic standing and how you did on the GMAT/GRE test help ISB (Indian School of Business) to determine how well you can handle the program's demands. Along with the total GMAT/GRE score, the institute also takes into account grades from the 12th grade, graduation grades, post-graduate grades, and certification scores, as appropriate.
While the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) do consider class 10th and 12th marks as part of their admission process, XLRI and ISB prioritize other factors like entrance test scores, work experience, and interviews. XLRI and ISB place less stringent emphasis on school-level marks, focusing more on holistic candidate evaluation in comparison to the IIM’s.
