the call will depend on how u perform in the test.....acads doesnt matter unless some really extraordinary stuff is there......again average acads dont come in the way of a call if u do well in the test....

Hello puys
So I filled up xat form......
Chose PMIR because i was comfortable with the subjects on offer. Unlike BM with its stress on Quant this Quant that. Now I wanna ask was it a stupid reason?
And one more thing.....
do people with super bad acads get admitted into XLRI
I mean shameful acads?
In other words, do miracles happen over there in Jamshedpur?

A stupid decision - yes ofcourse

If you think that PMIR is an easy course, then u r wrong. The difficulty level is at par with any other MBA course in the best colleges. Also, even PMIR guys need to deal with quant
Moral: Either learn to deal with quant or stop thinking bout MBA

Bad acads can get covered up but you need to have a very good score in XAT. Secondly, you need to prove urself in the interview. You need to show why u r a good candidate. Good acads are welcome, but ppl with not-so-good acads also make thru.
Talking bout wonders, remember one thing. You are talking bout XLRI. The admission process is same as in IIMs (along with repo, etc). So, dont think that u can screw up ur entrance or interview and still make it thru... XLRI's motto is excellence, and it strongly abides by it...

Just to add my perspective....

There's no difference in the PMIR and BM selection process, except for the fact that there is a GD and interview for PMIR, and only an interview for BM.

As far as acads go, yes, acads carry some weightage in the final tally of your score, after you crack XAT. If you clear all cutoffs in XAT, then, your acads, workex, and overall profile are given some weightage in your final score, along with your interview performance.

People who think their acads are bad - go through my record - Class X - 85%, Class XII - 67%, B.E. - 62%

Also, there's absolutely no need to worry if you don't have workex, and no need to gloat over things if you do. Ultimately, an interview is all about what you are, as a person. So focus on highlighting your personality during the interview.

But then, all that needs to be thought about only after you qualify the exam. So, I'd say stop bothering about acads, interviews, workex etc. because on the day of the XAT exam, everyone is equal. Only after you prove yourself there, you need to worry about those things.

And then, of course, you'll have a lot of support from us throughout, so prioritize!!

All the best!!

Never did I say that I thought that PMIR was an easy course. Any MBA is'nt easy and I know that. I just thought that PMIR was more my kinda course intuitively. Was more comfortable with the subjects on a basic level. No regrets about my decision though.
And me getting thru would still be a miracle, considering the competition.
But I do believe in making miracles happen :angel:
