To apply for admission to XIMB (Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar), you need to have a three-year Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) from a recognized university with at least 50% marks. Even if you expect to complete your degree by a certain date, you can still apply.
The XIMB cut-off is based on various entrance exams such as XAT, CAT, GMAT, XGMT, and NMAT. The cutoff figure is the minimum score required to be called for a personal interview. However, you should keep in mind that the cutoff is just a primary filter and only those who score high enough can hope to get final admission.
The XIMB cutoff figures may vary slightly from year to year, but the differences are usually minor. If you plan to take the XAT exam, you should aim for around 90 percentile to meet the XIMB cut-off. For the GMAT, the cut-off is 550 marks, and for NMAT, it is 220 marks. It's important to note that NMAT is considered only for selected courses.
Therefore, if you're interested in pursuing a management program at XIMB, you need to make sure you meet the minimum requirements and aim for a score that's higher than the cutoff figure to increase your chances of getting final admission.
