Will having a job gap affect me during summer placements at XLRI?
Having a job gap won't affect your CV shortlisting because most of the recruiters filter out students without looking at CVs, by just looking at their 10th, 12th, and graduation marks. Until they reach the GD room, the actual panelists don't even give a glance at the CVs.
The campus relation team, which is a part of the HR, does all the work, hand over the student’s list to the campus placement team and they forward it to the panelists directly. Till this process, the panelists don't go through the student's CVs seriously and these are submitted only for records.
After completing the GD round, you will be shortlisted for the personal interview round, if selected and in that step only they will go through your CV and then ask you questions based on it.
Hence, a job gap won't affect your campus placements at XLRI as most of the recruiters don't bother to look at the CVs of students until they reach the personal interview round. I have known people with gaps even more than 4 years to secure placement offers. A couple of companies may not shortlist you but you will not face any major problem.
What are some tips for getting into an Indian premier institute like IIM Ahmedabad, XLRI etc.?
To get into the most popular business school in our country, you must first appear in CAT for IIMs and for other institutes while XAT for XLRI. To get a call, you must get at least 70 percentile in each section and more than 80 percentile on the CAT.
CAT cutoff goes up to 99.8, and a general candidate with an 80 percentile score has a very small chance of getting in. If you have a bachelor's degree in medicine, law, or the arts and got at least 90 in 10th and 12th grade, more than 75 in graduation, or were in the top 10% of your field, IIM A may call you around 85 percentile.
If you want to get into B.Com, you need 96+ and the above-mentioned academics. Engineering graduates who appear in the CAT get the best score in the stream from which they have majored. There is a very small chance of getting a call below 99. For an engineering graduate, getting a call from IIMA means scoring 99.5+ on the CAT, getting 90+ in 10th and 12th grade, and getting 85+ in college.
Last, I would say that IIM Ahmedabad gives a lot of weight to academic diversity and academic success in the past. So, if you didn't do well in school or college, you won't get a call from IIM A. Don't let that get you down. Instead, study hard for the CAT and do your best. One can still get into schools like IIM C, IIM K, FMS, and MDI, which give CAT scores a lot more weight. There are many other good B-schools that you can get into with 90/95+ percentile.
Other than CAT score your GDPI performance, previous academics, diversity, and work experience also play a role in the final selection.
