- There is a generic question about your work, studies, etc., a reason to choose HR/BM, your interests.

How can a student with low academics get placed in B schools like XLRI, FMS, JBIMS, MDI, etc.?
It is important to know about the factors that might help you to get admission to B-schools. If you ask me, XLRI, MDI, JBIMS, and a few of the newer and baby IIMs have admission policies with distributed weight-age systems.
Not only CAT cut off but also they do a selection on the profile basis. They check for job experience and other skill sets if any.
You may face tough interrogation during the Interview process as you have low academic scores but it may also be overlooked if your CAT scores are high and your profile is good. Also, if you have any decent work-ex, it can make an impression on the selection committee.
Moreover, you should score at least 60% in your academic career as most organizations require this. Exception cases are considered provided one is able to display significant tech skills/managerial qualities or a high score on the job requisite skills matrix.
If in case you have less than 60%, you are already out of IIMs criteria and your chance to get into IIMs. Also, colleges like FMS give more weightage on CAT scores and less on academics.

Are less than 60% marks in btech graduates, are given admission in FMS Delhi, XLRI.XIM and JBIMS Mumbai?
It will be difficult to get into colleges such as FMS, and XLRI, with less than 60% in 12th but in B.Tech graduates if marks are less than 60%, then it might not be a big problem, it’s achievable.
FMS assigns 10% weightage to 10+2 scores. So, if you manage to score around the 99.5 percentile in CAT, you will have a chance of getting shortlisted. You need to perform well in the GD-PI round as well. XLRI and MDI assign 15% weight to past academics and work experience.
So, try to work on your profile by adding extra-curricular activities. Also, prepare well for entrance tests and the GD-PI round.
