For XLRI, you have to appear for XAT. You need to score 96 percentile and above to get a call for BM and 94 percentile and above for HRM. Besides you also need to clear sectional cut-offs.

IIMs take admission through CAT. I am assuming you are from general category. Based on your overall academic profile, you will need to score atleast 99.4 percentile to get a call for the next round.

Work ex is not mandatory.

All the best!

Dear Student,

There is no requirement of having a job experience for appearing in CAT. The only eligibility for taking the exam is having a bachelor's degree with a minimum of 50%. However, you can also get yourself a job and still appear in CAT. It completely depends upon your choice and interest.

Hope it helps.

Good Luck.
