The interview goes for around 15 to 20 minutes and there are generally 2 interviewers to take your interview. Firstly, they ask you about yourself and try to know about your visions, perceptions, experience, and so on. They mainly ask you general questions related to your academics as well as your surrounding to analyze your presence of mind and knowledge regarding any specific subject.
They are interested to know about your capabilities, strengths, weaknesses, and where your opinions stand. Students are asked about the most recent hotly debated topics or issues to understand their grip over current affairs.
IIMs seek out positive people who are eager to learn and have a basic understanding of any situation. It is not necessary to be a master of everything, superb academics and extracurriculars in order to succeed, though grades are important. You simply need to demonstrate your ability to think to the interviewer.

There is no proper procedure. If you want to visit the campus, you can make an entry in the register at the gate. It will be even easier if you know someone from the campus.

How do I answer the profile detail form in the IMT Ghaziabad CT-GE-PI?
Keep your answer crisp. Draft your answer in a way that highlights the applicability part. If you have work experience, write what kind of work experience you have and the key deliverables. Mention your roles and responsibilities. If you are a fresher, mention academic achievements, particular subject knowledge or General Awareness especially corporate ones like the latest disruptive technologies, mergers acquisitions, etc.

Why do students leave BHU?
Although BHU has the best faculty and management, many students tend to leave BHU after a few days. They feel isolated and homesick. Also, the teachers have a lot of political influence. The administration does not let you take a stand for yourself. A lot of inter students riots take place here.
Also, BHU has a sustaining hierarchy and preferential treatment that seeps down to the education part as well. Ex-students become professors without external exposure. So they bring much lesser value in terms of ethics, fair marking, and admission system.
I think these are some minor reasons why students keep leaving BHU after admission.
Is it true that XLRI does not consider past academics for admission?
It’s not true that XLRI doesn’t consider past academics for shortlisting students. They consider the academic records along with the other factors in your profile but the weightage assigned to academics is not as much as other reputed management institutes like IIMs.
Here is the weightage of different components for final selection at XLRI.
XLRI Selection Criteria Weightage 2022:
- XAT score - 60%
- GD/PI - 25%
- Academic profile, essay, GK, work experience, video - 15%
As they assign only 15% for academic profile and other factors, if you perform well in XAT and GD-PI round, you will have a good chance of converting the interview call. Also, XAT doesn’t have any minimum required mark in graduation like CAT.
So, if you want to join XLRI, prepare well for XAT and work on your communication skills.
