Q:   How is the XAT percentile calculated?

A:
The XAT percentile is calculated based on the performance of a candidate relative to all other test-takers who appear for the XAT exam in a particular year. The percentile is a measure of the percentage of test-takers who have scored less than the candidate in the exam. The formula used to calculate the XAT percentile is as follows: Percentile = [ (Number of candidates who scored less than the candidate / Total number of candidates who appeared for the exam) x 100] For example, if a candidate scores 80 marks out of 100 in the XAT exam and 20,000 candidates appear for the exam, and out of those 20,000 candidates, 18,000 candidates score less than the candidate, then the percentile for the candidate would be calculated as follows: Percentile = [ (18,000/20,000) x 100] = 90 Therefore, the XAT percentile for the candidate would be 90. It is important to note that the XAT percentile may vary from year to year depending on the performance of all test-takers in the exam. Additionally, each participating institute may have its own cutoff percentile based on which candidates are shortlisted for the next stage of the admission process.

Q:   How important is XAT cut off for selection to XLRI's PI round?

A:

XAT cut off is the most important factor in selection of candidates for XLRI Jamshedpur’s Personal Interview or PI round. Those who do not meet the cut off are not even taken into consideration for PI shortlisting. The two main parameters upon which candidates are short listed for the PI round are academic scores (class 10,12 and graduation) and XAT cut off.

Aspirants must note that they need to score as much or above the XAT cut off and should have a consistent academic record of high score to have greater chances of getting selected. It is not necessary that they will be called for the PI round if their XAT score matches the cut off. If any candidate with the same score has a better academic record, he/she will be selected over the other.

Q:   My graduation score is less than 50% in aggregate. Am I eligible for XLRI admission?

A:

Yes, candidates with less than 50 per cent in aggregate in graduation are eligible for admission to PGDM courses in XLRI. Candidates need to have minimum passing marks in Graduation. They must have however, completed their graduation from a recognised university only. Candidates planning to seek admission to an MBA college other than XLRI must check its eligibility criteria as the minimum score requirement of AICTE approved colleges is 50 percent (45 percent for Reserved categories). But having 50 per cent and above score is not a guarantee for getting selected for admission. You will need to clear the admission round which is based on XAT cut off percentile. If you do not meet the XAT cut off percentile you will not be selected for XAT personal interview round, which is the main parameter for MBA admission in XLRI.

XAT Cut Offs: XLRI Shortlist and Selection Process

XLRI Jamshedpur MBA admission is based on certain parameters that an aspirant has to meet. The admission committee selects candidates for admission to its MBA/PGDM programmes on the basis of XAT score and Personal Interview (PI). Candidates who meet the XAT cut off for XLRI, are required to fill an online form at the institute website. The institute then shortlists the applicants for PI round. The XLRI shortlisting criteria includes academic scores such as Class 10/Class12 and Graduation marks.

The XLRI PI round is conducted in February and March at Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Jamshedpur. After this rigorous personality assessment round, candidates are shortlisted for admission. The offer of admission is sent to candidates by the end of May. In the final phase of selection, candidate's academic and work profile are also taken into consideration. The process of XLRI admission begins with XAT registration. Other XAT accepting colleges too follow the same selection process, i.e. Personal Interview. Many colleges conduct Writing Ability Test or Group Discussion as well.
