What should be the preference, XLRI Jamshedpur or Delhi? Would XLRI maintain equal placements & faculties as the IIFT maintained? Can we get an educational loan for the XLRI Delhi campus?
When comparing XLRI Jamshedpur to the other two institutions, XLRI-Delhi and IIFT-Delhi, it is generally considered that XLRI Jamshedpur is the better option. The XLRI Delhi campus is relatively new, with its first batch starting in 2020, and the institution is working towards making it as successful as the Jamshedpur campus. However, IIFT has been able to maintain the same level of quality at its Kolkata campus as it has in Delhi and students in Kolkata have received similar placements as those in Delhi. It is hoped that the same will be true for XLRI Delhi in the future.
In terms of overall comparison, it is suggested that XLRI-Jamshedpur is better than IIFT-Delhi. However, if you are specifically comparing between XLRI-Delhi and IIFT-Delhi, it is suggested that IIFT-Delhi may be a better option. It's important to keep in mind that this order is based on personal opinion and you should conduct your own research and weigh your options before making a decision.

Can I get XLRI if I have cleared the CAT examination?
One of my friends cleared the XAT exam to get into XLRI. If you think CAT is the way, then you should know that some things -
- If you think CAT is the way, well it's not. You'll need a 99+ percentile to get into XLRI and lastly, in combination with academic excellence, extra-curricular activities, achievements and work experience will count as well.
- XLRI is very strict in scrutinizing the overall profile of a candidate. The final merit list is prepared on the basis of it.
In case XLRI starts taking on the basis of CAT score which I think it might have or will do in the future, you'd benefit from having a thorough knowledge of these programs and exams as well. And this goes for any of the MBA entrance exams you might take including CAT.
Will having a job gap affect me during summer placements at XLRI?
Having a job gap won't affect your CV shortlisting because most of the recruiters filter out students without looking at CVs, by just looking at their 10th, 12th, and graduation marks. Until they reach the GD room, the actual panelists don't even give a glance at the CVs.
The campus relation team, which is a part of the HR, does all the work, hand over the student’s list to the campus placement team and they forward it to the panelists directly. Till this process, the panelists don't go through the student's CVs seriously and these are submitted only for records.
After completing the GD round, you will be shortlisted for the personal interview round, if selected and in that step only they will go through your CV and then ask you questions based on it.
Hence, a job gap won't affect your campus placements at XLRI as most of the recruiters don't bother to look at the CVs of students until they reach the personal interview round. I have known people with gaps even more than 4 years to secure placement offers. A couple of companies may not shortlist you but you will not face any major problem.
