What is the selection process for XLRI like?

The selection process of XLRI is not that difficult. Let me explain it simply, sharing one of my friend’s experiences. His selection procedure went something like this -

Firstly, two papers will be taken in the XAT which is the same for everyone. Paper 1 includes sections like -Decision Making, Verbal and Logical Ability, Quantitative Ability (QA), and Data Interpretation (DI). Paper 2 includes sections like - General Knowledge and Essay Writing. 

Once the exam is done, the next question that arises is how much do you need for XLRI. The sectional cut-off is 95-96 percentile. Check the following table for a detailed cut off:

Next, for GDPI, you will get the topic and will be asked to start building a structure. All you have to do is give a clear, concise but excellent contribution.

The Interview experience can be different for everyone – 

• There is a generic question about your work, studies, etc., a reason to choose HR/BM, your interests.
• Did you read the newspaper today? Your general awareness of the world, and current trends.
• And finally the most important question, where do you see yourself in the next 5 years.

These are some of the questions that can be asked. Other than that your work, studies, projects, participation, training, skills, etc. will also be discussed.
