XLRI, the dream destination for many, might seem difficult to crack, especially if you haven't had a perfect academic record. But here's the exciting part – XLRI examines every aspects of applicants. They look beyond just your grades or XAT percentile. It's challenging, yes, but not impossible! Every year, numerous top students in India aspire to get into XLRI. Moreover, having work experience is a fundamental requirement for admission to XLRI.

XAT score is just one part of the XLRI admission process. To secure your admission, you need to perform exceptionally in several other stages, including:

• You must have at least 5 years of professional experience in roles such as manager, teacher, or executive on a full-time basis.

• Aptitude (General Knowledge, Essay, and Behavioural questions)
• After that based on the XAT score you’ll be called for Group discussion and personal interview.

XAT cutoff is the only criteria for GD and PI calls. I would advise you to search for more business schools. If you have any other abilities or accomplishments, such as in athletics or any other extracurricular activity, you may still be able to get into XLRI despite having a poor academic score. You still have time to apply to XLRI.
