Hi aspirant,

Let me make one thing clear. The only thing that you can stop you from getting admission in these reputated institutions is the same who can get you admission. It is you.

Always remember your will power is the one standing between you and your  admission in these colleges.

Now you have already appeared for 12th and youu cannot change that. What you can change is your tenacity and your urge to succeed.

Now I am not a motivational speaker, but you need to realize that if you preapre well and score high marks and acheive high rank, you will definitely get admission in these colleges.

Prepare well, give your best and hope for the best. You will definitely get admission and have a great career.

Hope this helps!

Hello aspirant,

Hope you're doing well.

XLRI Jamshedpur conducts its own entrance exam called XAT-Xavier aptitude test, which is followed by an interview and GD.

If you qualify it with a good percentile, you will get a call from the institute for the next step, the interview. However, the selection depends on many factors :- your academic history and background,  number of candidates for the exam, etc. You need to have a strong academic background for selections here. It is one of the top B-schools in India.

Subjects to cover for XAT:-

1. Logical reasoning

2. Quantitative aptitude

3. Verbal and nonverbal ability

4. Data interpretation

There are various books available for XAT preparation. You can refer to them. And, don't forget to solve last 10 years' question papers for practice.

All the best:)

Hey,

Sorry to say but the academic score you have mentioned is pretty low. And as you have not specified your category I am considering it to be Open category and I am answering according to it. The FMS cut off for general category usually ranges from 97 and above percentile. So I guess it might be difficult for you to get a call from FMS. As far as XLRI is concerned, you will have to quality XAT, conducted by the college itself, to be eligible for admission.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Basically to get admission in top IIM'S you will have to get at last 99 percentile or above, still there is no guarantee that you will achieve it.

Yop IIM's follows two different set of rules. One for Initial calling and otehr for Final Selection. For Initial calling they give 35%-40% weightage to your previous credentials and 60 to 65 to CAT score.

For Final calling they give 10% -20% only and remaining is given to GD, PI and CAT score.

For XLRI you will have to XAT. For SP Jain you need 90-92.

All the best!!

Hello Vivek,

IIms. XLRI and FMS are the top management colleges of India which provide approx 90% campus placement. Most of the students are willing to get admission in these college as these are the best. IIMs are taking students from CAT and XLRI and FMS take the students from their own entrance exam.

Getting admission in management college not only depends on your entrance exam results. It comprises of different curricular activities like Group Discussion, Personal Interview and some colleges also set some points on 10, 12 and graduation marks of the students.

As your 12th and graduation marks are no so strong but you can still get admission in these college, Firstly you have to crack their entrance exam so that they allow you to appear in GD and PI. If you have good speaking as well as thinking skill then you definitely cracks their GD and PI. So don't panic for your less marks in 12th and Graduation. Never loose your hope.

Good Luck!

Vijay, XLRI offers various courses like:

PGDM in Human Resources Management

PGDM in Business Management Programme

PGDM in General Management Programme.

PGDM in General Management Programme needs Candidates to have atleast 5 years of work experience and so you have to concentrate on the other 2 courses. According to the official website https://www.xlri.ac.in/academic-programmes/admission-procedure/overview.aspx, the selection criteria depends on various factors but what rules the list is your Academic profile and your XAT score. If you can achieve good XAT score with already good Academic records, being selected shouldn't be a huge task.  To boos your profile you can also learn some relevant courses from SWAYAM MOOC. This will add value to your profile as well.

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.

FMS Delhi usually has the highest cut offs for its 200 seat intake. The selection process includes 3 stage method. They are:
Eligibility Criteria
Group Discussion and Personal Interview
Final Selection

The basic eligibility criteria remains 50% aggregate for General Category in Graduation and 45% for Reserved Categories or equivalent CGPA from any recognised University. The percentiles in CAT are considered for the further rounds. In 2018, the weightage given for various sections of CAT have been as follows:

QA: 30%

DILR: 30%

VARC: 40%

An additional 3 marks are added to the Composite score in case pf women for shortlisting. This score is used only for shortlisting Candidates for Personal Interview. The weightage for Final selection is as follows:

Personal Interview: 15%

CAT score: 60%

Group Discussion: 10%

Extempore: 5%

10th marks: 5%

12th marks: 5%
An additional 3 marks of the maximum aggregate will be added to the women candidates who have attended the Interview. Now with all this process, the cut offs is an important issue to be discussed. Previously FMS used to consider overall CAT score for shortlisting. However since the past 2 years, FMS has been giving sectional preference and weightage. VARC occupies the top position with 40% weightage. A Candidate with atleast 97 sectional weightage will be shortlisted at FMS. So it is important to focus more on VARC section while not leaving other sections. Higher cut offs are due to the intensity of the competition at FMS, Delhi. Their placements speak for themselves. FMS, Delhi concluded 2018 placemebts with an average placement package of 22.60 Lakhs for Women Candidates. Out of a batch of 223 Students, 215 participated in Placements and all of them have been placed there by leaving FMS, Delhi at the top in 100% Placement Companies. Though 133 companies participated in Hiring process, 83 companies could make the recruitment offers.

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.
