Hii aspirant..

If you are having three years of gap in my academics it is not going to effect your chance of getting admissions at IIM or XLRI.

But instead the work experience you were having while working for these three years is going to act as a boon for you during the selection process in these colleges. 

During the selection process of IIMs and XLRI not only your CAT score will be playing the important part but instead your previous academics, your work experience, your interpersonal skill is going to play a very important part. 

Thus, instead of worrying you should know that the gap between your academics and your work experience during it is going to work positively for you. 

Hope it helps. 

Best of luck for your future. 

Hello aspirant,

For CAT, in written exam you need to score 98+ percentile if you are from general category. In interview round, marks of 12th, 10th and graduation do matters. As they will call for interview after looking your profile which include previous years marks. But If you score more than 99 percentile and can ace the personal interview you can definitely make through the CAT. Work hard, it will pay off 

Best of luck!!

Hi Rishabh,

Its perfectly fine if your score in graduation is low. They don't have any eligibility criteria for minimum score requirement in your graduation. However, you need be graduated from a well established recognised institute. Do well in your XAT exam, surely you will get it the admission, if you score at least above 95 percentile in the exam.

I hope I have cleared your doubt. Wish you all the best.

Hello, 

For getting admission in XLRI jamshedpur management course, you should have completed your graduation.

After that you need to appear for XAT, which is conducted by XLRI itself and based on the XAT score, you will get admission.

So complete your graduation and Prepare for the XAT. All the best.

Hi,

With 5years of experience you will be able to join the 1 year GMP course at XLRI. It is earier to get into this course because the cutoff vary a lot it even goes down to 80%. When i gave XAT in 2015 it was as low as 65%. Even GMAT scores are accepted and that also varies from 640 to 700 based on your profile.

If you give GMAT and score above 700 then you will have plathora of options. ISB, SPJain and even Great Lakes. If your profile way to strong then you could try for other colleges in US like INSEAD,YALE if you are lucky you may even make to Harvard.

Arpita in addition to what Dhruv said, if you are looking for IIM executive courses (https://www.mileseducation.com/analytics) you can also get into a 6 month IIM executive programs for working professionals  (https://www.mileseducation.com/finance/iim-lucknow-analytics) and still get the IIM-L alumni status.
