yes.. i am facing the same problem..they had msgd me about not receiving the application twice (had sent it on 22nd) but there was no confirmation after that whereas speed post is showing that it got delivered the very next day..i think i will not wait for the acknowledgment and apply for XIMB right away..

We're required to send the graduation certificate with the XLRI form.
But i dont have it right now and the provisional degree will take atleast a week to come.
I have the DMCs of all the semesters with me. If I send them will it suffice?

Hi Himanshu,
Just to put things in perspective is my profile good enough for converting xlri just in case I manage to clear the cutoff's. My interest is more in the HRM course.

10-87.67%
12-70.45%
Btech-68.9%
35 months of IT exp as on today.

Hope the average acads what you mentioned is not well above my numbers


For everyone's benefit, my profile
10th - 81.2
12th - 71.2
B.E - 69.6,from a decent college
W.Ex - 24 months
XAT %ile - 98.54
Course- PMIR
One college that gives you full opportunity despite whatever you have done in past is XLRI. Don't forget that 45% is required in grad to appear for XAT.Prepare for written exam that's what is going to get you calls.
We would continue to help you at every stage.

All the best.

Definitely.

Do not think of that book in terms of being helpful for XAT or not. It depends as there could be vocab based questions or there may not be but do complete that book for sure. Not only is that book great but the word list at the end of the book is highly relevant IMHO.

Hi puys,
I have sent the PA form for XLRI and have forgotten to enclose the 10th,12th and grad marksheets and no one is replyin on the phone numbers given on the website.What can i do now?? any help guys??

hi amit crusier,

i think you should register once again for xat by paying cash at axis bank. and you should also applied to other institute you want. by doing this you will only risk your 900 rs as comparison with loosing a chance to apply. You can take a legal action later to claim 900 rs.atleast apply first again to all institutes.do write a mail to xat institute that i have applied again as you were not replying.


Thanks realfacts,
I called them yesterday evening and a guy picked up stating me the problems they have been facing. There are some other guys too who are facing the same problem as me. He was saying something about doing the registration from their end itself if the last date passes. I really hope they do that otherwise I'll be forced to take a legal action. Right now I am waiting for their reply.

Anyone from XLRI or having any idea about the registration process for XAT and what happens in cases like mine please comment/ let me know what courses of action can be taken from their end. Is it true that if the last dates have passed, they'll do the registration from their end. Has it happened before? Or is there nothing that can be done now.

Thanks in advance...
