Here is my profile:

1) 10th : 79%
2) 12th : 91% (0.1 certificate in Maths + College Topper)
3) BTech from REC : Topper in all semesters and Gold Medalist in IT
4) Extra Currics : Nothing as such to show as mostly concentrated on acads
5) GMAT Score: 700 (M 50 V 33)
6) Experience: 4yrs right now with 17 months international experience ( Exp. will be 4yrs 8months by March 2009)

What are my chances of getting into XLRI GMP?

Is XLRI very strict when it comes to 5yrs experience limit ?

Hi Nitya,

640 was the minimum score in the batch and those students had other exceptional attributes that compensated for the relatively low GMAT.

In my personal opinion, if it is possible you should try to take the GMAT again.

Based on our admission cycle dates, I think the deadline for GMAT applicants this year should be around middle of January 2009...so you could take the GMAT in early Jan and report your score.

You also have the option of taking up XAT this year.

This is just my opinion !!

I wrote GMAT twice recently(june/july).scored a miserable 590 (48,24,4.5)and 570.Hence probably it would be difficult to write again before Jan 2009(all my MGMAT and GPrep Tests gave me 650-710 but Verbal ditched me on the D day )

Now the Big Question is Should I go ahead and apply with GMAT 590 score?

I am having 12 yrs of Leadership Experience with Govt of India(last 7 yrs as Dy Director)

I have handled three different Directorates in my career
I am Basically UPSC officer (same service which selects Indian Railways)

BE-73.3%(Jadavpur),M Tech(IIT),passed CFA Level-I(USA) in june 2007

just wanted to have a quick response as "Range of GMAT" is not given in the xlri gmp site

I know GMAT 640 with 10 Yrs got selected last year

what abt 590 with 12 yrs?Any low GMAT case in the last batch?

is it good enough for interview call

thanks in advance

Hi Abhishek
I think your profile is good. We have a student with around 4 years and 10 months by Mar 2008 for last year admission. so, you can give a shot. They consider 4-5 years work-ex on case-by-case basis.

[brandmanager]

thanks people.

Its an eye opener for me as well-I though XLRI is strict about 5 years..

I guess my wife can apply as she would have less than 5 yrs exp( around 4 yrs 6 months) by March 2009,am sure with her past academic record and work ex she should stand a good chance.

Request the Team to confirm the exact situation

Nitya,

Though the Present students would be in a better situation to comment, my take is 590 would not be really helpful,Typically 650 is the minm score which colleges look at. According to my Info 640 was the score last year, at which a couple of students got admission, though they made it up with good profiles.So my suggestion would be u should write GMAT once again and get a score of 650 plus.

All the Best

Hi brand manager,
As I said, they strictly consider it case-by-case basis. I think 4 Years and 6 months is bit on a lower side.So, I cannot say for sure .But no harm in applying

Hope it helps !!
