In next one month, I plan to cover institutes that take XAT scores for short listing purposes. I will be focussing on placement scene as well as selection procedure for these institutes. As of now, I will be writing about XLRI, XIMB, Goa institute of management and LIBA. Placement 2009 posts will focus on placement scenario in last few years, but they will start flowing in late January. This is the first in series of XAT 2010 short listing criteria posts starting with XLRI. As of now, post is macro level, more details on all these as actual interview dates come closer.

XLRI Selection Process

XLRI selection process is plain vanilla on the outside, constituted of Written test, i.e. XAT 2010 and Interviews. Both Written and GD PI have equal weightages. During PI stage, there will be three panelists and two must approve you for you to make it to the final merit list, which of course is based on overall marks you score. I have already covered the XAT exam here.

Following are the previous year overall cut offs,

2008 : BM - 98.5 percentile PM & IR - 97.5 percentile
2009 : BM - 98.03 percentile PM & IR - 95 percentile

BM - 90.03 percentile in VA, 94.9 percentile in QA, 90.21 percentile in RA.
