ELIGIBILITY -
XLRI JAMSHEDPUR: For the 2 years course offered by XLRI as full time PGDM (BM), PGDM (HRM) is that the applicant should have a bachelor's degree of minimum 3 years duration or equivalent. All the applicants should apply for XAT 2019. An applicant who is appearing for final year examination for bachelor's degree and are waiting for results can also apply.

If you ask me, both of the colleges are very good and have good alumni network and reputation. However, if asked to choose one, go for XLRI, being the oldest and best MBA college, my choice would be XLRI.

Thank you
Dear Student,
based on the last years cutoff for IMS BHU the chances for you to be able to secure a seat in less, however there are colleges where you are eligible to secure a seat and get admission based on your CAT percentile and category mentioned above,
As you are well aware that the cutoff for each varies, hence to get a more accurate prediction of college, kindly use the predictor tool provided in the link given below.
Having a more or less average academic record in 10/12/B.Tech and secondly being from the highly competitive GEM (General-Engineer-Male) Category, assuming you are a GENERAL Candidate, I believe you have bleak chances in securing call from FMS Delhi in lieu of your percentile of 95 in CAT.
I would advise you to target newer IIMs, Management Schools of Older IITs like SJSOM IITB, VGSOM IIT KGP, DMS IIT Delhi and IIT Madras as well as Other Good Management Institutes accepting CAT Score like MDI Gurgaon, SPJIMR and IMT Ghaziabad.

Good Luck!!
Being a central university, its campus is well maintained. Classrooms are tidy, air-conditioned or otherwise, and well equipped with projectors and comfortable chairs. The library is superb spacious, friendly, quiet, and well stocked with management books, journals, and access to electronic libraries.
The infrastructure is different from department to department. Some departments have really high-tech facilities, and others are pretty basic. Libraries are fantastic for marketing resources. There are some problems with parking and Wi-Fi on many campuses.
The infrastructure is above average. It has all facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, A/C classrooms, library and medical facilities. Labs and classrooms are air-conditioned and contain all the required material. The mess was also designed well, and the food was awesome.
