The admission process was very smooth. I sat for XAT and scored around 90 percentile with my lowest sectional percentile in DM at 73 percentile which just crossed the sectional cutoff of 72 percentile. I got an interview call which I had to select the slot for. Once selected, and online meeting was scheduled, and on the day of the interview I had 3 panelists (all male). The interview lasted for about 20 mins with questions spanning from why MBA to hobbies, interests and some technical questions based on past work ex. Once the interviews concluded the results were announced under 2 months and I was wait listed. XAT was in some ways a tough exam to crack, especially the DM section. I have no real notes for improvement on the process. It was pretty smooth from my perspective

Past Academics are not just mere parameters for admission but they evaluate your consistency in performing well across various academic stages. This signifies your flexibility to adapt and maintain a consistent result. Thus a well-maintained and stable academic record ensures your competency and is given more importance than inconsistency in your academic profile.
Most B-School consider past academic records to ensure the student’s ability to give consistently good results. XLRI too is one such institute, the only difference being that initial shortlisting is not done on that basis. This enables candidates with a valid reason for average past academics to justify their profile. In fact, their justification can even convince the panelists to consider them over other candidates with better past academic records.
The reason I am so confident about this is that my sister told me her batchmates comprised both; students with excellent past academic records and students with below-average academic records. These students managed to seek admission by performing excellently in the post-written process.
So, XLRI does consider past academics but not for initial shortlisting and the overall weightage given to academics is comparatively less than other B schools.
At IIM/FMS/JBIMS/SPJIMR/IIFT/XLRI, attendance is seen as a crucial aspect of the learning experience. Every effort must be made to be present in class and to participate actively in the discussions. In fact, class participation is considered to be such an important factor in determining grades that a significant portion of the total course weightage is allocated to it. This system is in place to encourage students to be engaged in the learning process and to ensure that they are taking full advantage of the educational opportunities available to them.
On the other hand, at IIT Kanpur, there is a more relaxed approach to attendance. While it is still advisable to attend classes and to be present for lectures, there is no strict requirement in place. This gives students more flexibility and allows them to choose when they want to attend classes based on their personal schedules or other commitments. It also means that engineering students are not penalized if they miss a class or two, as long as they are able to make up for it by participating in other ways, such as completing assignments or preparing for exams.
Overall, both B-schools and Engineering colleges have different approaches to attendance and class participation. While IIM Ahmedabad places a strong emphasis on being present in class and participating actively, IIT Kanpur takes a more relaxed approach. Ultimately, the choice between the two institutions will depend on the individual student's preferences and learning style.
Deciding whether to join XLRI BM or try for ABCL again next year is a personal decision that depends on various factors. Here are some points that you may consider while making your decision:
Factors in favor of joining XLRI BM:
Factors in favor of trying for ABCL again next year:
Ultimately, the decision to join XLRI BM or try for ABCL again next year depends on your priorities and goals. You may consider factors such as your career aspirations, financial situation, personal circumstances, and risk appetite while making your decision. It may also be helpful to seek advice from your mentors, family, and friends.
During an interview, the interviewer will typically evaluate you based on two factors. The first factor is your score, which is based on various parameters such as your confidence and knowledge. The second factor is the interviewer's judgement call, which is based on their overall impression of you.
If the interviewer gives you three ayes, then you're in, period. If you receive two ayes, your score will be considered. However, if there's only one aye or fewer, you won't be considered.
Although there is no set pattern for interviews, the interviewer will usually try to make you comfortable at the beginning before finding a way to put you under pressure. For example, they may present you with a puzzle that you have a limited amount of time to solve. The key here is to stay calm and not let the pressure rattle your confidence.
Once the interviewer has put you under pressure, they'll want to see how you perform. It's essential to remain the same person you were in the first half of the interview to demonstrate your abilities effectively. With these tips in mind, you'll be well-equipped to navigate any interview with confidence and ease.
Yes, there are many people who converted IIM, XLRI, FMS calls, even with a poor academic record. I personally know someone who scored less than 50 percentile in engineering yet got accepted at XLRI. He performed well in MBA and now works as a senior HR at a major eCommerce company.
Academic record isn’t the only thing that these institute takes into consideration while selecting students. Your entrance examination score, performance in GD-PI, extracurricular achievements, etc. are equally important.
It can be affirmatively stated that JBIMS is considered one of the best business schools in India. The trio of IIM A/B/C holds a distinct brand value compared to other top colleges in the country and globally. The brand recognition and respect of the IIM institutes have increased due to its status as an "Institutes of National Importance" and the widespread accomplished alumni base both in and outside of India.
JBIMS boasts an impressive list of notable alumni, including Vinita Bali, the Managing Director of Britannia, Lalita D. Gupte, Chairperson of ICICI Venture Funds Management Company, and Chanda Kochhar, Managing Director & CEO of ICICI Bank, India, just to name a few. Moreover, the Managing Directors and CEOs of some of India's largest companies such as ICICI, HUL, Kotak Mahindra, and Piramal are alumni of JBIMS.
If you are considering pursuing higher education, you may be wondering whether a degree from a foreign university is worth the investment. Here are some points to consider:
Ultimately, the decision to pursue a degree from a foreign university should depend on your personal goals and priorities. If you have the opportunity to study at a reputable foreign university, it may be worth considering the benefits and weighing them against the potential costs. However, if you are unable or unwilling to study abroad, there are still many great Indian business schools that can provide you with a high-quality education and excellent career prospects.
The faculty is world-class and you will get to learn a lot. The program works in partnership with SHRM so that you can also communicate directly with industry experts.
The program offers detailed modules on career and succession planning coaching and mentoring, etc. There will be many practical assignments involving various aspects of talent management in everyday life.
I have a friend who did this program and benefited from it. The addition of the XLRI name in your CV is definitely one of the advantages of this program. As helpful as this program is, it may not matter much in terms of your promotion or next job switch.
MBA admission in Indian B Schools is a fairly weird process in comparison to that of foreign B Schools. In India, the admission process requires a candidate to have some work experience and in certain B-schools, it even carries a certain weightage. But during Final Placements, this scenario changes entirely as the recruiters prefer freshers over experienced candidates. The major reasons for this contrast are:
Recruiters are looking for candidates with work experience of not more than 11-12 months. Honestly, this strategy is illogical as a person with more work experience is bound to excel much better than a fresher, and restricting him from getting a job just because they cannot be exploited to the fullest extent is a bit cruel.
The scenario is pretty much the opposite in foreign countries that prefer MBA candidates with work experience only. This is because in India MBA is considered a way to become more employable or earn a fatter cheque. Whereas in the West, it is a means to upgrade your career and take it to new heights. The entire concept of MBA is at fault in India thereby this illogical strategy.
In my opinion, MBA candidates should have a work experience of at least 1 year, only then they can harness the MBA program to the fullest and not approach it just as a source of placements.
Last year my brother tried for conversion, so I think sharing his experience might give you a clear idea.
Once the interview shortlists is released, the shortlisted candidates usually form a WhatsApp group to prepare for the GD-PI. Find similar groups on the education network and join them if you get a call.
The Chances of Conversion are possible if you get a call. A good XAT score certainly helps, but before, people have simply cleared the XAT cut-off and made it to the institute. Now you have to stand out among others.
