DB
Dishari Bannerjee Posted On : June 25th, 2021
Studied at IIM A (2018)

One of my friends is a student of XLRI. It is a very famous business school which is located in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. They offer various management programs like HR, BM, Analytics, PGDM etc.

  • They conducted their own entrance exam XAT which you will need to clear in order to get admission to this college.
  • To be eligible for admission you will have to score at least 96 percentile in the XAT exam.
  • The competition is very high. The sectional cut-off marks for males and females are different but the overall percentile cut-off is the same.

Here are the cut off marks of XLRI for 2022 -
