IIFT conducts its own entrance test while for XLRI you need to appear for XAT. All other colleges like FMS, IIMs accept CAT scores only. All these are difficult entrance tests on their own, so focus on getting a good percentile in all the entrance tests in the first place.

After getting a good percentile, getting calls and eventual conversion depends on a lot of factors including past academic records, work experience, and GD/PI performance.

  • Since your overall profile is being evaluated, with an average academic past, IIM Ahmedabad will only call you if you score close to the 100 percentile.
  • IIM Bangalore may call you below that then its final selection also puts importance on consistency and high academic scores.
  • IIM Calcutta is known for putting higher stress on past academics and a score of more than 99.6/99.7 percentile can only guarantee a call.
  • The newer and baby IIMs may call you in the 99 percentile region.
  • As far as IIFT and XLRI go, also scoring something close to 99 percentile or more can only help you.
  • The best approach should be to target other private B-schools and non-IIMs such as FMS Delhi, NMIMS Mumbai, SPJIMR Mumbai, MDI Gurgaon, XIMB Bhubaneswar, IMI Delhi, IMT Ghaziabad, etc.

Ultimately past academic records, work experience you cannot change. The only thing in your hand is your CAT/XAT/IIFT percentiles and your GD/PI performance. Focus on getting as high a percentile as possible.
