What does it take to get into XLRI, Jamshedpur?
During an interview, the interviewer will typically evaluate you based on two factors. The first factor is your score, which is based on various parameters such as your confidence and knowledge. The second factor is the interviewer's judgement call, which is based on their overall impression of you.
If the interviewer gives you three ayes, then you're in, period. If you receive two ayes, your score will be considered. However, if there's only one aye or fewer, you won't be considered.
Although there is no set pattern for interviews, the interviewer will usually try to make you comfortable at the beginning before finding a way to put you under pressure. For example, they may present you with a puzzle that you have a limited amount of time to solve. The key here is to stay calm and not let the pressure rattle your confidence.
Once the interviewer has put you under pressure, they'll want to see how you perform. It's essential to remain the same person you were in the first half of the interview to demonstrate your abilities effectively. With these tips in mind, you'll be well-equipped to navigate any interview with confidence and ease.
Has anyone regretted after joining XLRI HRM?
If you are an HRM enthusiast, you certainly won’t regret joining XLRI HRM program. In the Asia-Pacific region, it is the best HRM program. XLRI offers a conducive learning experience. You will have the freedom to study beyond the confines of the course structure. The HRM faculties are the best in their field.
The exposure and placement opportunities are ample. As per the recent highlights of XLRI placements, HRM students receive an average CTC of around INR 23-25 LPA.
How difficult it is for an average student to crack XAT exam to get XLRI? How much is the CAT score of students who go for XLRI?
Well, my friend has appeared for both CAT and XAT exams. She filled the MBA admission form from XLRI knowing the difficulty level of XAT. XLRI is a prominent university that has high demands among the students hence, it isn’t easy to take admission here. If you clear CAT with good marks, there are high possibilities to clear XAT with good marks as well.
- There are few instances where students scoring low percentage in CAT, score more percentage in XAT. It happens because they divide the paper according to their skills. If you are good at the quant section, you may clear CAT quite easily.
- On the other hand, XAT is all about verbal and decision-making skills yet you need to make sure that you score around the passing marks in the quant section.
- CAT is about 66% of quant questions whereas XAT has 37% of the quant questions; which has sums based on ethical decision making. However, scoring up to the mark in XAT and CAT comes hand in hand as the difficulty level for both the exams is similar.
Considering the ‘average’ students who usually score average in academics, they have an equal chance to get admission. Moreover, I believe that besides passing or scoring good marks in the XAT or CAT, the admission of the students depends on other factors like knowledge, performance in GD-PI and total appearing candidates.

What is life like at XLRI?
One of my friends from school recently visited the XLRI Jamshedpur campus to deliver a guest lecture. To get to the institute, he had to change two flights which were followed by a ride in a cab that took him around three hours from Ranchi to Jamshedpur.
It was a tiring journey but he found it worth it. He had a good time on campus and praised the level of safety on the campus. The host of the cultural festival, a student organization, was very generous with their timing and hospitality.
The cultural program went on for three days and it was organized for students from other institutes. The goal of this program was to give them exposure to ideas which they can find difficult to get otherwise. My friend was delighted to talk to these students.
Also, there was a band performance which was one of the highlights of the program.
He thanked the team for their hospitality and took his leave the following morning. To his experience, he found life at campus very happening.
