Dear Aspirant,

Yes you are eligible for both the exams as for XLRI Jamshedpur there is no minimum requirement of marks for appearing in the exam and for the Indian Institute of foreign trade, cutoff marks are 50% in any graduation for general category students.

Hope this helps. Thanks.

Hello Aspirant,

XLRI, Bhubaneshwar is very good for MBA Finance. Therefore the candidate need not think twice to join the Institute. The college is providing excellent career opportunities to their students. They leave no stones unturned to give best to their students. The college is also providing good placements if the students manages to maintain a decent CGPA throughout the course.

Good luck!

Hello,
The top institutions for MBA are the IIMs. Unfortunately, besides the CAT score, all IIMs consider the academic history of a candidate to some extent. So, you have chances, but not much. You will have to score really well in the CAT.
You have good chances at XLRI Jamshedpur. Also, you have good chances for other top colleges like FMS Delhi, provided that you score well in the entrance exams. Good luck!

Dear Aryan, IIMs shortlist candidates for the interview stage based on their own criteria, which may be independent of each other. The process may include Written Ability Test, Group Discussion, and Personal Interviews. Performance in the CAT examination is an important component in the admission process. IIMs may additionally use other factors such as the previous academic performance of the candidates, relevant work experience, gender and academic diversity and other similar inputs in shortlisting and ranking of candidates at various stages of the admission process. The processes, academic cut-offs and the weights allocated to the evaluation parameters may vary across IIMs. The following numbers might look confusing but if you can score this percentage against your Category, you can actually secure a call from IIMs and XLRI.

Method of scoring can be found on the official website of the IIMs you are interested in. Those candidates who are eligible after these 2 rounds are called for Written Ability and Personal Interview Test. The final score is calculated based on this scale for IIM Lucknow:


Common Admission Test: 30
Academic Performance (12th + Graduation): 5+5
Diversity Factor (DF academics +DF gender): 5
Work Experience: 5
Writing Ability Test: 10
Personal Interview: 40
Final Score: 100

Because CAT exam will be held at different slots, CAT scores will be normalised to ensure equivalence in the difficulty levels of the exams for both slots. IIM Kozikhode will normalise the CAT scores using percentile equivalence. Adjustment of location and scale differences of score distributions across different norms and then scores will be normalised. These scores will be then converted into percentiles for shortlisting and selection purposes. So to be honest wih you, if you can manage a 99 percentile score in CAT, you will be able to pull off a feat and manage to get a call from any of the IIMs. Having said that, I alsp want to bring to your attention, the selection process of the IIMs so that your preparation can be target based:
IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Calcutta and IIM Bangalore conduct their admission process separately having their own weightage for Academic section, Work experience, Diversity factor, etc.
You can check their selection criteria in detail at:

The newly established IIMs follow a Common Admission Process which is also called CAP. The shortlisted candidates will have to appear for a Common Written Ability Test and Personal Interview Rounds. A separate Institute wise merit list will be prepared and this merit list will be declared based on individual admission and selection criteria.

IIM Sirmaur, IIM Jammu, IIM Nagpur will release their own merit list according to the CAT score or percentile and profile of the Candidate. There are no further rounds for these Institutions

But other Top B Schools and Other Participating Institutions release their cut offs post the declaration of CAT scores.

Hello Aspirant,

As per the information provided by you, your marks are just average and not that good enough to get you a profile based call.. You can get into xlri only if you manage to get good percentile in xat. By good marks i mean a percentile above 96. So I'll suggest you to work hard and study well..

All the best..

Hello
CAT or Common Admission Test, national level management entrance conducted for admission to 20 IIMs and in more than 1000 B-schools across India.
With that profile you need 99.5+ percentile to get interview call from top IIMs.
However these percentile vary every year deoending upon factors like level of toughness of exam and number of students appearing etc.
