One of my friends is studying at XLRI. To her, there is no difference or classification of the amount of international exposure or on-site opportunities, based on specializations. The points below provide a clear picture of the modes of international exposure that students of XLRI receive during their course and afterward.

• There is a student exchange program in XLRI, which provides foreign learning opportunities to students.
• The institute has tie-ups with several international business schools like ESADE, Audencia, Darden, and EM Lyon.
• Almost 20% of students from the batch get the opportunity to spend a semester in one of the foreign institutes. Among them, most of the seats are available to HR and BM students.
• Students get the benefit of interacting with international students and get used to the global perspective of MBA.
• In terms of internships and placements, the working experience of candidates totally depends upon the job role offered by the company.
• In certain cases, companies send their summer interns abroad to their offices.
• There are HR interns from HUL, who worked in the United Kingdom during their internship period.

Therefore, specialization is not the mode of distinguishing chances for on-site opportunities, and the factor is entirely based on the company’s business requirements.

• In the 2022 NIRF Rankings, XLRI-Xavier School of Management ranks 8 among all the B-schools in India. Only BLACKI and IIT Delhi are above XLRI. In the last 5 years, it has gone up by three positions from 11 to 8. 
• In the QS World ranking, Masters in Management, XLRI ranks 5th in India and 13th in Asia and in 141-150 Overall rankings. 
• XLRI is ranked 1st, at a cumulative score of 902.62, among all the Private B-schools in IIRF 2023 Rankings. 
• "Economic Times", "Outlook-ICARE" and "Business Today", also included the institute in the top 5 private universities in the country. 
• According to Outlook-ICARE, it ranks first among the 150 best private MBA universities in India. 
• The Economic Times ranked the college as the second among the 50 best MBA universities in India.

Firstly, you should focus on getting a very good score on the entrance exam as it is something that demonstrates your innate intelligence, which is a good indicator of your potential to succeed in the program.

Secondly, you should focus on scoring well in the GD/Essay portion of the admission process. This demonstrates your intellectual capacity and knowledge, which can also be important qualities for success in an MBA.

Thirdly, you should focus on other points in your engineering experience that showcase your interests and abilities such as hobbies, sports, books, or other extracurricular activities that you are passionate about. Discussing these during the interview can help to showcase your personality and unique qualities.

Lastly, you should be very clear on why they want to pursue an MBA and why they want to attend that specific college. This demonstrates your clarity of thought and future career aspirations, which can be appreciated by the admission committee and compensates for the low CGPA.

Your mentioned scores are very low and being a CA will only give you an advantage. IIMs give special preference to those who are CA or pursuing it. The main question is if you are eligible to write the CAT exam.

The criteria for writing CAT is to be a Graduate from a recognized University or a final year candidate in any discipline having a minimum of 50% marks. There are relaxations for those with a quota like SC/ST and they can have a minimum of 45% marks in graduation to write the CAT exam.

Not much weightage is given to academics at XLRI but they still need a minimum of 50% marks in UG. So, try to score well in XAT- anywhere from 95 to 96 percentile. This is because the higher you score the better chances you have. XLRI has no reservation policy and admission there is purely based on merit.

I would be mentioning steps to follow if you want to get into XLRI for BM. So, here's how it goes:

1. A good XAT score can do more than half of the job.
2. Your solid communication skills actually prove to the panel that you are hard-working and will learn throughout the two years you would spend here.

Both of these steps is a pretty easy task to do and to achieve these skills, you do not require to do something extraordinary. Even if you have any coaching around your locality, perhaps consider joining it as they can provide you the guidance that is required.

Also, something which is more important and needs more emphasis are a few factors, which I feel you should introspection on are:

1. Is BM going to help you in the long run of life? Is it actually going to help you achieve something and establish yourself?
2. Why exclusively XLRI when it comes to BM?

The reason I mention these is that they are generally asked by the interviewers. I hope my answer has given you direction.
