Hi Lavanya,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on securing such a decent percentile on one of the toughest exams in India. Your hard work and consistency has really paid off and you are sure to get some of the good B-Schools from Tier-2.

I am listing down some of those B-Schools from which you can expect a call, with their average package which you can expect after the end of your 2 year MBA/PGDM course.

However, this is not an exhaustive list. You will get other good B-Schools too.

Now, what you need to do is to prepare for Group Discussion and Personal Interviews since you will not be getting any time to prepare once these colleges will start rolling out their shortlist emails.

I hope I have been able to solve your query. Do write to us if you have any more questions and we will be glad to help you out. I hope you convert the B-School of your choice. All the best!!!

Percentile refers to your relative performance with respect to the other candidates. X percentile means that you scored better than X% of the total candidates.

On the other hand, XAT percentage is like the normalised score which you got in the exam. So if in Decision Making section, your percentage is 16.524 and percentile is 49.407, it means that your normalised score is 16.524 and you did better than 49.407% of the appearing candidates.

A total of 98 percentile means that your total score was better than 98% of the students. Even with 49 percentile in DM, you got a very good overall percentile. The reason behind this would be because your percentile in the other two sections- Quantitative ability and Verbal and logical ability must be really high. This would be because of high percentages in those sections, resulting in a better total percentage and hence a better total percentile. Hope it helps.

Hello

It's very good that you have score 80 percentile in verbal section , however XAT Percentile is equally important. Performance is calculated on the overall scores there is no thing like more or less focus. Keep trying, you will get through this soon.

Hope this answer helps.

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.

Hi Abhay,

The work experience weightage with respect to the score is comparatively less so you need to first focus on securing good score. When it comes to work experience it will bore you benefit if it is in some relevant field such as Finance consulting agencies else it won't be much beneficial for you.
