XLRI Jamshedpur All Questions

Hii Sipan,

B-schools in India give a lot of weightage to academic marks. You have a very average score in class 10th and 12th hence for getting into XLRI or any IIM you'll have to work hard in the related entrance exam and secure a good percentile which will compensate to the loss in marks. Old IIMs would be difficult to crack because they give a lot of weightage to acads. You can eye for newer IIMs and other private B-schools in India. You can reach out to us for more help.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

hi,

I assume you have done your graduation from ignou in distance learning mode  or part time. XLri needs a really strong and consistent education background, the basic eligibility is you need to have a minimum of 3 years graduation course in any discipline from a recognized university.

there is nothing mentioned about part time or full time, also you need to appear in xat entrance test.. if your academic scores are good and also xat score, you will have decent chances.

Hello aspirant, I hope you are doing good.

If you have got 97 percentile in XAT , that's quite good percentile and you have a chances to get calls from XLRI .

There is gap between your 12th and graduation which is not a big deal because many of them ahve this issue.

But make sure to have a genuine and relevant information on why you have these much years gap.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

It won't be a problem if you are passing out from XLRI because the Institute has its own reputation. Also, many people have gap between their 12 and graduation and are working successfully. You should get ready for this question to asked in every interview you appear as why there is such a long gap between your 12 and graduation. Other than this, there won't be any problem. The recruiters look out for qualification and the knowledge of the person as the major factors before selecting anyone. And as you mentioned you were doing a full time job and part of volunteering work then it will help you in the interview as you have prior experience of the corporate world.

Hello Girish,
Hope you are doing well. If you want to get in top most colleges like IIMs, FMS, SPJain. Then you must aim to score around 99 Percentile. And for XLRI you have to appear for xat exam, and your target should be 95+ percentile for that also. Hope it helps You, Good luck.

All the best.

Your final conversation will completely depend on your performance in the GD, WAT and PI rounds. 65% weightage  is given to the XAT percentile and the rest on the GD, WAT and PI rounds. You'll have different interviews based on the programs you've applied for. Since your academic record is pretty good so with some extra effort in the selection rounds you can easily get into the college. Moreover XLRI focuses much on general business questions as per the goings on in the economy. So just focus on that and you'll be good to go.

All the very best
