XLRI Jamshedpur Cutoff 2025: Check Category-wise and Round-wise Cutoff

For XLRI, you will have to appear in XAT. As for IIMs, the selection for admission varies depending on which category you belong to.

• General Category Male Engineers (GEM): You are most likely to get calls from the new IIMs. It is more or less the same for GEF except for the gender diversity points. 
• General Category Non-Engineers: If you are from Arts background, expect a call from IIM A, B, C, even if you have only above 80% in 10/12/Undergrad. If you are a Commerce student you can expect a call from IIM I/K/S apart from the new IIMs.
• OBC/NCL Category: As the sectional cutoff is lower, you can expect a call from all IIMs except ABC if you are an engineer. Female and non-engineering students will have gender/academic diversity advantages.
• SC/ST Category: The required cutoff is fairly low for these two categories. But you will need decent past academics (at least 80%) to be eligible for top IIMs.

But these are only the minimum requirements to get a call for WAT-PI at these institutes. To be selected for admission, you will need to perform well in the WAT-PI round too as the competition will be fierce.

XLRI doesn't have any kind of religion-based cut-off nor any reservation on caste-based. As XLRI is one of the most reputed colleges in India, the percentile required for non-christian is the same as for a Christian candidate.

Cut-off depends totally on the performance you have done in your exam. Above 90% is required to appear in GD and PI and after that, you get your seat. No institute has based cut-off based on religion, castes in the world.

In the Indian education system, no one can bias on the behalf of any caste, religion, sex, it all depends on your performance and your outcome will tell your future. Don't think about anything just focus on your studies make a strategy and implement it if you want to crack your exam.

My cousin is in XLRI's PGDM program and he told me that his work experience in China helped him a lot as they value international experience. If you've volunteered with NGOs or did any form of social service in the past, then that'll definitely count.

Overall, a strong application with some essays and recommendation letters will raise your chances of admission. You should be able to prove to them that what you do is extraordinary, that you are a natural leader. Once you've prepared your application, get a grammar check done by your friends with good English language skills. Keep working on your application.

• Substantiate your essays and videos with interesting anecdotes and highlight the accolades you have achieved in your career.
• Try to retake the GMAT exam and score 700 to be in the safe spot.
• Focus on your interview with these questions in mind- why MBA? What do you want to do after your MBA? Highlight your pre and post-MBA plans.

XLRI will regard you highly if you are aware of India’s socio-economic issues and form your answers from an inclusive point of social welfare.

Be updated on the deadlines. Wait for the list to come out. Submit the essays and video. I am sure you'll get a call for GD and a personal interview. The difficulty arises from this point and you'll be expected to have prepared extremely well for the interview.
