XAT 2023 Group Discussion
In a GD round, candidates are divided into groups of 8-15 participants, depending on the number of candidates shortlisted and the number of GD rounds in total that the institute wishes to conduct. Each group is then given a topic which the participants are required to discuss. The time limit for each GD is about 15-25 minutes.
The topics of XLRI GD could be related to current affairs, politics, social issues such as women’s rights and emancipation, or any other issue concerning advertising, technology, education or business in India.
Guidelines to the Group Discussion
- Utilize the time given before each GD round to make some quick notes for yourself.
- Don’t lose your calm if the GD turns into a fish market. Stick to the topic and make your points in a clear, audible voice.
- Don’t get too aggressive and insulting in your words and tone. Use politically correct language to put forth your views.
- Don’t flaunt your vocabulary during the GD. Instead, focus on good and substantial points to put forth.
- Address the entire group while making a point.
- Don’t try to dominate the group. Don’t pick fights with the ones who disagree with you.
- Body Language: Sit straight, be active, don’t slouch or hunch, don’t intrude into other people’s space by spreading your arms way too much, gestures using hands must be limited to your personal space, at the height of your chest.
- Don’t be too shy or introverted as none of the other participants will give you the chance to speak. Make at least some contribution to the GD to avoid getting eliminated. The beginning and end of the GD are good places to speak up and get noticed.
- Be updated with the latest current affairs and increase your knowledge about various issues concerning our society, culture, politics, business, education, etc. Reading newspapers daily will help in this direction.

XAT 2023 Personal interview
Personal Interview (PI) has questions about the candidate’s background, academics, achievements, and motivation behind going for an MBA. The interviewers intend to gauge the candidates on their communication skills, content, confidence, and ability to think under pressure.
Usually, candidates are petrified by the thought of a PI due to low confidence, lack of communication skills, and fear of speaking in public.
Guidelines to the Personal Interview
- Don’t fear the interview panel. They are experienced academicians and experts but they intend to know you better, so don’t get too nervous. Relax and be as natural in your answers as possible.
- Take care of general etiquettes: Greet them, address all the panelists while talking, thank them after the interview is over.
- Be well-versed and thorough with your resume, essay, and application form.
- Be honest in your answers and don’t try to bluff the interviewers. If you don’t know the answer to a question, admit that and apologize.
- Treat it like a talking session. This will keep you relaxed and keep nervousness at bay.
- The time for every interviewee is different. A shorter interview does not mean elimination. Similarly, a longer interview does not indicate selection.
- Smile. Don’t look too serious, too aggressive, or too tense.
