XAT 2014 Cut-offs (Updated)

Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) 2014 was conducted on January 5, 2014 between 10:30 am and 1:23 pm.

The test was divided into two parts. Part I was the usual XAT paper that would be used for percentile calculation, Part II had 20 questions on General Knowledge and an essay. Part II of the test would be used by colleges that the student will apply to during the second stage of selection.

The paper was quite challenging this year. The total number of questions in Part I was 83 and Part II had 20 questions on General Knowledge. Part I was further divided into three sections A, B and C. Part A was the Verbal Ability section and it had 28 questions. Part B was Decision Making and it comprised 24 questions and Part C was Quantitative Ability, which had 31 questions. The total time allotted for attempting the three sections and General Knowledge was 150 minutes. Each question had 5 options and all the questions carried equal marks. There was a penalty of one-fouth of the mark allotted for every incorrect answer. However, the question booklet clearly stated that the General Knowledge marks would only be used by all institutes at the time of final selection and not for shortlisting candidates for interview/group discussion.

Thanks to the thousands of students who have filled the E-OMR on CL’s website and we are able to calculate more convincing data of the percentile scores and the cutoffs of the colleges. A glimpse of the tentative cut offs of some of the premier XAT allied B Schools can be seen in the table below.
xatcutoffsupdtdTo check your tentative score, do fill in the eOMR in XAT Exam Corner‘s score calculator and see whether you will be able to make it to one of these institutes.

All the best!

  2. Hi Sir, I am in a dilemma right now.I took XAT on January 4 2015 and the XAT score calculator predicts my overall score to be 25 but my Ouant score is around 3.5 only.I am really worried as to what all colleges consider XAT’s sectional scores.Do GIM, IMT Ghz, Tapmi and Great Lakes consider sectional cut offs?I have heard that from this year GIM plans to consider sectionals and in that case can I expect a call?

    • Abhishek, only XLRI, XIMB and SP Jain have secttional cutoffs hence these will not give you a interview calls. All others are possible.

  3. Sir, I got 18.5 in XAT (VA- 5.5, DM – 7.25, QA – 5.75).

    I also have 87.95 %ile in CAT. I belong to OBC
    Is it possible to get any good reputed college with this XAT or CAT score?

  4. sir my expected xat score will be..
    va: 2.5
    dm:7.25
    qa:4.75
    …..can i expect to get admission in any good college….or you suggest me to try hard for the next time??? pls help me take a decision…thank you sir..

  5. GP Sir!!!

    What is the cut off percentile required for XIMB BM Course through CAT and not XAT? I have not been able to see anywhere about the CAT cut off for BM at XIMB. I have applied for it. Kindly help.

    Regards
    Suhas Goel

  7. I have scoredd 97.11%ile in cat and 94%ile in xat ..99.9972 in snap …bt didnt fill in ne colgs forms…
    I have converted to XIMB BM and waiting for new iims result . I have just started wrking …3 months wrkex . Should i take up ximb or reattempt ?? In dilemma whedr i can perform better wid job nxt yr ?

    • Prajakta, since you are working and have a good performance in all MBA entrances you can definitely look at going for another shot at CAT/XAT. However XIMB is a top notch institute and leaving it is not going to be easy as it provides good placement opportunities.
      If you leave XIMB then you should get into the IIMs, XLRI, FMS, JBIMS, IIT Mumbai, SP Jain, IIFT, NITIE and MDI to make dropping worthwhile which means a CAT/XAT score of 97-99%ile. If you are confident of this then drop XIMB, continue with your job and start preparing for CAT’14 else join XIMB.
      Hopefully you will make it to the new IIMs and resolve the problem.
      All the best.

  8. I have 2 options in hand IMT(DCP) & NMIMS (HR). Which one would be a better option?

    As my first preference would be marketing or finance, would it be possible to do Executive MBA in marketing or finance in future to add to my proifle

    • Deep, while NM HR is preferable to IMT DCP but for marketing and finance you will have to go to IMT however it is an expensive program. Hopefully you will get upgraded to PGDM and resolve the issue. After NM HR and working for a few years in this area it may not make sense to go for an executive MBA in marketing/finance.

  9. Hi,

    Which one is better, IMT-N or XIME? Have converted both. XIME seems to be better on ROI,batch size and average placements.
    My residence is Bangalore so does XIME atleast give me a better chance of being placed in Bangalore?

    Regards,
    Rohit Raina

    • Rohit, while reputation wise IMT Nagpur will be considered better but the gap is negligible and since you belong to Bangalore XIME Bangalore will be to your advantage.

      • Hi,

        Just one more query sir. I have given the second round of Welingkar Mumbai. Can you please let me know if at all i get through and get selected for PGDM / PGDM Business design / E-Business, would it be worth considering over XIME? I have already paid my 2 installments at XIME.

        Also, can you please throw some on light on their Business design course,its scope and placements. XIME PGDM or Welingkar – Mum PGDM Business design?

        Thanks in advance

        Regards,
        Rohit Raina

        • Rohit, Welingkar Mumbai is marginally better than XIME Bangalore and can be considered but only if you will get the refund from XIME.
          Welingkar Bangalore should not be considered.
          The placement of Welingkar PGDM/EBiz/Biz Design are similar but your preference should be PGDM, E Business and finally Business Design.

    • bhautikmakadia, while XIMB is better known but RM does not have very good placement hence SIOM is my preference.

  11. I have confirmation of IMT(DCP) and IMT Nagpur. Which one would be better -IMT DCP or IMT Nagpur

    How are the placement opportunities of IMT(DCP) in comparison to IMT Ghaziabad

    • Deep, IMT DCP will be a better but a more expensive option. For placements of DCP and PGDM batches are combined. However to get a good placement (Rs 12-15 lakh pa) you need to be among the top 1/3rd of the batch the bottom 1/3rd struggle for placements and usually end up in the salary range of Rs 7-9 lakh pa the remaining would be in the range of Rs 9-12 lakh pa. The placement opportunities also are significantly better in DCP as compared to Nagpur.
      Once the IIMs, XLRI, FMS and IITs come out with their results you could be upgraded to PGDM also.

  12. Can you just attach the bschools categorised by tiers.And please tell me if XIMB comes under tier1 or tier2?

  13. Sir,

    XAT – OA — 99.49
    QA-90.69
    VA- 94.42
    DM- 99.74

    42 months Work ex in IT (Financial Services Domain)
    GK – 1

    GD- Avg
    PI – above Avg

    Do i have a chance to convert ?

  14. hello,,,,,i am deepansh and I am an mba aspirant …..basically I have to pursue HRM and LR …so my first preference would be…TISS….but///..I have to ask u one thing that….I am an engineering student….so…I do not have extra knowledge about the economics…psychology and/. GK…I am asking that…how should I prepare for…it…crack TISS///…because….this section is very difficult for me…which books should I prefer…and….except…reading newspaper….sir what should I do for economics and sociology section ??????????????????????????

    • Deepansh, there is no separate section for Economics and Psychology in TISS Entrance Exam. Gk is an important section in TISSNET and for that you need to be updated with the current affairs as well as static GK. The questions asked in TISSNET belong to History, Geography, Arts, Awards, Famous rivers and mountains, and important nayional and international events. To master static GK you will have to cover any basic General Knowlege book. It will take time to improve your GK but if you give enough time and attention to it, you can ceratinly do well in TISSNET.

  15. GP Sir !! Between IMT Ghaziabad ,TAPMI,GLIM Gurgaon PGPM what would be the best to join for a person with around 24 months of Experience in IT having a keen interest in Marketing…

    • Vinayak, my order of preference will be IMT G, TAPMI, GL Gurgaon. IMT G has a big batch size but provides good placements especially for the students in the top half and is a good place for marketing. GL Gurgaon is a new campus and will take a few years to establish itself.

  16. Hello Sir

    I would like to know about the job profiles offered for XIMB-RM grads

    how are the roles different from the normal MBA roles

    I would like to know specifically about Consultancy and research,Development,Business Development and Marketing,E governance

    also does the job entail us to stay in rural areas?

    what are the growth opportunities available?

    I am inspired about RM course as i think it is about policy making for the poor(am i wrong?)(i have a hobby of writing business plans for livelihood)

    any ideas about the remuneration offered?

    personal experience about any of your academy’s students would be a plus point

    • Dear Amol,

      Rural Management courses do not necessarily lead to careers that are very different from those of other MBA specializations. In fact, most RM graduates get jobs/profiles that are very similar to those available to other MBAs. For example, marketing profiles are very common for RM grads. As per XIMB’s placement report for its 2011-13 batch (available on their website), 11% of its PGPM-RM batch was placed in Agri-business and allied sector while most of the other students had profiles similar to those available to other MBA specializations. In fact, 30% of their batch was placed in Banking & Finacial Services sector. The highest domestic offer was Rs. 9.65 lakhs p.a. and the average offer was Rs. 5.62 lakhs p.a. Staying in rural areas may be required based on the kind of profile that you opt for.

  17. Hi My percentile in XAT is QA-90.69, DM-82.48,English Language & Logical Reasoning-93.03, OA-95.54
    GK is 3.6marks, GD & PI in BM -XLRI was good. Do I stand a chance to convert in XLRI

  18. Sir even if we get 95 percentile in XAT-BM then also chances seem to be very meek. As converts list have all the candidates with 99 percentile and above.
    Secondly sir if I score 99 percentile in 2015 XAt do I have the chance to convert XLRI BM with Xth-74, XIIth 76.4, Grad-6.67(59.14) and 36 months of experience in project management and construction.
    Sir how much marks on approximate basis we need to score overall to secure 99 percentile and above in XAT.
    Thanks in advance sir.

    • bks, XLRI has not clearly specified the weight (if any) for past academic performance and/or work experience.
      In XAT’14 99%ile was 34 marks.

  19. Hello Sir

    I have 77.95 % in XAT and my MAT Feb percentile is 85.45. Is Welingkar Mumbai a better choice or XIME Bangalore? I have a work ex of 2.7yrs.

    • Ananya, with 2.7 years work experience idelly you should avoid both of these however if you have to do an MBA from one of these then Welingkar Mumbai could be preferred due to its location.

  20. Sir,
    I am in big trouble. My sectional score is as follows:
    XAT 2014
    SCORE CARD
    TEST DETAILS PERCENTAGE PERCENTILE
    QUANTITATIVE ABILITY 16.94 75.31
    ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LOGICAL REASONING 7.14 12.16
    DECISION MAKING 27.08 62.23
    TOTAL 16.57 42.91
    XAT ID : XAT363242
    DATE OF TEST : JANUARY 05, 2014

    I have secured a meager 12 percentile in VA&LR and its equivalent to 2 marks. I am not getting this. I should have got more percentile in VA&LR section.I have dropped some mails at XAT site, but they are not responding. What should i do? Please reply ASAP.

    • Abhishek, unfortunately nothing can be done in this case since XLRI is a private institute and is not covered under RTI. The only option availabe to yu is to file a case against XAT. Suggest that you forget XAT and move on.

  21. hello gp sir,
    my mat feb 2014 composite score is 553.5 and percentile is below 54.77.
    should i get some good colleges for pgdm .if yes plz suggest some of them. especially in delhi, pune, bangalore. and hows is aims centre of delhi and bangalore’s christ and allince university.
    if i have the choice of getting good b school apart from these so plz suggest.THANK YOU…………

    • Kirti, unfortunately no decent college is possible at 55%ile in MAT. The colleges that will offer you admission at this score are unlikely to provide any kind of placement.

  22. Hello,

    I have scored 90.89 percentile in XAT 2014, the sectional percentiles are given as below :
    VA=91.31
    DA=95.03
    QA=53.51

    I have only applied to TAPMI and IFMR chennai. My GK score is 0. Can you please suggest some good colleges to which i can still apply as per my XAT score, whose last date have been extended or are still not passed. Also, is Welingkar Mumbai a good idea?

    • Ankit, this is a new course and the first batch will pass out in 2015 so it is difficult to say how well it will do. It can at best be considered as a back up. What are your optiions?

      • Hello,

        I have scored 90.89 percentile in XAT 2014, the sectional percentiles are given as below :
        VA=91.31

        • Chinmaya, the application time for almost all of the decent colleges is over now. It’s good that you applied to IFMR and TAPMI. Welingkar can be considered as a backup if you don’t get other decent colleges.

  24. my xat score is
    q – 59.29
    verbal – 98.65
    decision making – 95.03
    total 96.56
    please tell me what should i do next,,
    this was my first attempt
    n i wanted to get into the top b colleges which is nt possible nw.

    • Kumar, where all have you got calls from? If you did not apply to the relevant institutes then you should pick up a job and also go for a retake of CAT/XAT. Your scores clearly indicate that you will have to work on QA, your fundamentals appear to be weak hence start from the basics. In the next 2 months you should be able to complete QA and then focus on test taking and practice tests. If you have taken a classroom program for the last attempt then use the same material to get your fundamentals in shape and join the Test Gym for practice and the Test Series for testing.
      You could also consider enrolling for Smart CAT Cracker Comprehensive that includes SCC Videos, Test Series and Test Gym.

    • Nina, XIBis a better known institute but the RM program has not really picked up and hence LIBA might be a better option. My suggestion is to go through the process for both the institutes and decide after you get the final calls.

  28. Hi Sir,

    How is the BIMTECH-IBM programme? I realized that i have applied to IBM instead of IB. Is it a good course? Would you recommend it? I have 2 years work exp

    • Mus, if you have a good quality work experience then BIMTECH is not recommended. IBM is a sector specific program and hence has restricted placement opportunities, its average salary is around 4.5 lakh pa and that of IM is around 5.5 lakh pa.

  29. hello sir
    my xat score is 90.43.
    english nd verbal ability – 99.78%ile
    decision making- 80.78%ile
    quant- 23.85%ile
    with dese scores sir kindly suggest sme good colleges i may apply to. m planning for XISS and Wellingkar mumbai. will i get a call from dese two?

      • actually i wasnt really sure dat i’ll score dis much in XAT.. nd given dat dis was my 1st attempt n m still in final yr btech. so havent applied for many colleges.
        XISS nd Welingkar r d only ones.
        will i get a call given dat my quant score isnt very good?

        • Joita, both these institutes will give you a call since they go by the overall score and do not have any sectional cutoffs. You can consider joining Welingkar but my suggestion will be to pick up a job and go for a retake of CAT/XAT. If you can improve your QA score then calls are possible from top institutes.

          • thank u sir. i havent yet been able to bag a decent job offer yet so i’l try for mba program dis year itself.thank u for ur advise. ne oder colg dat u may still suggest?
            perhaps m taking feb-CMAT nd MICAT olso.

          • Joita, it’s good that you are writing CMAT as well as MICAT. MICA offers a course in PGDM(C) i.e. Marketing Communications which is one of its kind in India. You’ll have more options to choose from through CMAT. All the best for your exams.

  30. Sir, My XAT score percentile is 69.12.
    QA: 41.24
    LR: 74.44
    DM: 78.69

    I have applied for TAPMI, XIME-B, XISS. Can I expect a call? Any other option at this score.

  31. Dear Sir

    I am interested in MBA in HRM
    please rate these college in order of preferences
    IMT-G, TAPMI,WELLINGKAR, XISS,XIME
    XAT percentile is 94.96

    • Yash, my order of preference is IMTG, TAPMI, Wellingkar, XIME and XISS. given your XAT score, you should consider only the first two.

  32. Sir plz arrange 1st preference first – Great Lakes 1 yr, IIT Chennai , IIT Kgp, XIMB
    The fee for IITs is less though i hv heard the atmosphere is not MBA like
    XIMB seems to be the best brand At the same time Great Lakes avg pckg is similar to XIMB and clearly higher than IITs Plus i’ll save 1 year
    I have 2.5 years work ex in IT CAT 96.8 %ile
    Kindly arrange these institutes

    • Biswas, in terms of average salary GL 1 yr, XIMB and IIT Kgp are similar – around 11 lakh pa. IIT Madras is around 9 lakh pa. On the fee aspect IITs are are the best. You have rightly said that XIMB is the highest ranked and GL saves you an year. Overall my order of preference is XIMB, IIT Kgp, GL Chennai 1 year and finally IIT Madras.

  33. Helo Sir, I got 75.15 percentile in XAT.
    QA – 78.77 percentile
    English and LR – 76.71 percentile and
    Decision Making – 54.12 percentile

    Thank you

  35. Hi Sir, I have got 77.05 percentile in XAT 2014, and have applied to Vellore Business School. Is that a wise ooption and if not what is the better one? I have work-ex of 1 year in steel production with a steel tychoon of India and present ctc is 4.2 lpa. Please reply

  36. Sir I want to get into a b-school this year itself. I have a xat percentile of 86.81 and a work ex of 2 yrs.Considering I want to study HR, would you suggest Welingkar or LIBA.
    Also , Will the 1 year PGPM at Great Lakes Chennai later help in getting an HR job?
    Please advise .
    Thanks,
    Ria

    • Ria, if you are desperate for MBA this year only, you can go for the colleges you have mentioned. For HR, Welingkar is better than LIBA. GL PGPM can be helpful of you have an experience in the HR domain.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Thanks

      • Hi Sir,

        Thanks for the reply. I have been hearing that TAPMI has been calling all the applicants for GD/PI. How true is this?

        • Mayank, apologise for the delay in responding to your query.
          Calls are unlikely from any decent institute. Given your work experience you should consider a retake of CAT/XAT, also consider GMAT and try for a 1 year MBA from ISB and other top MBA institutes outside India.

    I unfortunately only applied to imt g and GLIM-PGPM
    where should I go
    Current exp:3.2 yrs
    CTC: Appx 7 LPA

    Plz let me know

    • Gaurish, while you can consider joining either of these my suggestion is to evaluate the option of retake of CAT and XAT. With your work experience and current salary, these may not be the best places to go to. If you go for a retake then consider GMAT also as it will open up the option of 1 year MBA from ISB Hyderabad and other top institutes outside India also.

  45. Sir i got 76.11%ile in XAT.
    my acads are:
    10th- 85.335
    12th-94.3%
    btech-84%
    Sir can i expect a call from GIM, XIME,XISS?

  46. sir i got a call from nmims bangalore and hydrebad…can u throw some light on dese colleges? fees, placement and all. the cutoff is 192 and my score is 193. so any chances of final convert?

    • Richa, NM Bangalore and Hyderabad are decent back up options and can be considered favourably. Their fee for the two years is around Rs 11 lakhs plus living expenses and the average salary for Bangalore will be around Rs 7.5 to 8 lakh pa. The average salary for Hyderabad will be lower by around 1 lakh.
      The GD and interview process has a very high weight in NM and hance a good performance can get you a convert.

  47. Sir, My percentile is

    • Supreeth, the application time for most of the colleges through CAT/XAT is over now. It is advisable to write MH-CET and MICAT.

  48. sir what is the average package from Xiss Hrm, finance or marketing??
    And which one is better among xiss & xime banglore?

    • Akshya, both the colleges are almost at the same level and placements are pretty average. Refer to the official websites of these colleges to know about the exact placement stats.

    Any suggestions ?

    • RJ Sam, where all have you applied?
      Given your work experience you can apply to Great Lakes Chennai 1 year program, its last date is 7th Feb.
      However give your profile (work ex and over 90% in X, XII) a retake of CAT/XAT along with GMAT for ISB Hyd is my recommendation.

  60. what is the scope of retail management what is the profile like what package am i likely to receive i have xat score 80.62 and look forward to mba rm from bimtech..?

    • Avishek, BIMTECH Retail Management has a decent scope with opportunities in the retail sector. You can expect a salary in the range of Rs 5 lakh pa.

    I got a call form all program of XLRI… but I don’t think I would be able to crack

    • Sarvesh, the application time for most of the good colleges is over by now. You should focus on converting the XLRI call.

  64. Hi Sir,
    I have a score of 86.8 percentile in XAT. I have a work ex of 2.5 yrs and my current salary is 4.0 lkhs.I am interested in studying HR. Are XISS and Welingkar good institutes for HR?
    Please advise.
    -Thank,
    Sanchari

    • Sanchari, these are average colleges. You should be aiming for XLRI-HR, TISS, MDI or XIMB if you want to build a career in HR.

  65. SIR I HAV GOT XAT 97.2 ND CALL FRM BM AND HRM XLRI BUT MY GK IS 0 AND I DNT READ NEWPAPER AND GENERAL AWARENESS IS ALSO 0 PLEASE TELL MEWAT TO DO I HAVNOT STARTED MUCH PLEASE REPLY SOONN

    • Karan, start reading a daily news paper and a couple of magazines. For static GK you can refer to any year book.

  66. Dear GP sir,

    Can I confidently apply to great lakes chennai ,IMT Ghaziabad with 88.11 XAT percentile??kindly reply at the earliest ..
    Academic profile–X- 88.16 XII-90.2 Btech-71.7 3 yrs at tcs..

  67. Sir,
    I have received 97 percentile in XAT
    my sectional for verbal is 74.44
    quants – 89.9
    dm -99.1

    I have filled up only XIMB BM – open category – outside odisha.
    any chances of getting through?

  69. Hello sir,
    My XAT score is:
    Quant: 38 percentile
    Verbal: 95.83 percentile
    Decision making: 95.03 percentile
    Total: 91.37 percentile
    Colleges applied: Sp Jain, IMT-Ghaziabad, LIBA, BIMTECH, TAPMI
    From which of these can i expect a call?
    and should i fill any other colleges?

    • You can expect calls from all except SP jain(score based call).Forms of almost all good colleges are closed now.

      • I also applied at Welingkar, XLRI, MICA, KJ Somaiya. What about them?
        My CAT score wasn’t good enough to get me a good college. So completely relying on XAT score call.
        Snap score is 89 percentile. Got a call from SIMC and SIOM

        • Shenoy, XLRI calls are already out. You can go ahead and check. As far as MICA is concerned, each and everyone who applies for MICAT is allowed to take the test and calls are given on the basis of performance in MICAT. You can look for both of these colleges over the other options SIOM and SIMC.

    Can i expect Calls from SP Jain/ XLRI/IMT-G?

    • Harsh, last year the cut-offs of BM as well as HRM was 80 percentile in DM. You are just on the border line for both of them. Wait for the official calls. You can be sure of getting a call from IMT-G. SP Jain has an overall cut-off of around 95 percentile.

  82. Hello Sir,

    I have 30 months of work ex, 90+ percentage marks in both 10th and 12th and 70.80% in engineering. Do I stand a chance of A XLRI BM and HR call?(I am skeptical about my quants percentile.Hence the question 🙂 )

    • Jebaraj, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be getting calls from any good institute. Try next year if you wish to get into a decent B-school.

    • jahira, not many options are available, you can apply to TAPMI, IMT and MICA. If you have 2 year work experience then GL Chennai 1 year MBA is also a good option.

      • Sir, i got the call for XL HRM. Will I be able to convert the call with the above percentile if my interview goes well? many people have told me that chances of convert are very slim.

        • Anamika, everyone who has got a call can convert it. Don’t listen to anyone one who says that you have slim chances. If you perform well in the GD and PI there is no question of you not getting selected.

    My XAT Scorecard reads

    VA- 99.25
    DM- 68.25
    QA – 96.15
    GK – 8.25
    Are there any remotest chances of getting a call from XLRI BM & HR?

    I have work experience of 25 months at Cognizant. Are there any deadlines left for any other good colleges worth applying?
    TAPMI deadline has been extended to 10th February. Considering my work ex is it worth going there?
    JBIMS is also accepting XAT scores but being an OMS would my score be sufficient?

    Please reply sir.

    Thanking you in anticipation,
    Rupam

    • Rupam, please mention your XAT overall percentile. TAPMI is a decent college. For JBIMS the cutoff through CAT/XAT will be 99.9+ . If you are aiming for JBIMS, apply for MH-CET.

      • Hi,

        Thank you for replying. My overall percentile in XAT is 98.5.

        Can you please suggest some good colleges thorugh XAT where the deadlines are still on?

  95. Dear GP sir

    I have got following score in XAT 2014:

    Wipro Europe – 1.5yrs
    TCS India – 2.75 yrs

    I have only filled XLRI – GM and Global and SP Jain PGDM currently.

    Few colleges which came across my mind:

    1. MICA – PGDM-C
    2. GLIM – PGPM (From Chennai…. should I also consider Gurgaon ?)
    3. IMT Ghaziabad (PGDM and PGDM Executive)
    4. KJ Somiaya Executive (But I heard they dont consider XAT ?)
    5. Welinkar / LIBA / XIME (Not sure I should apply at my experience level)
    6. XISS / IFMR (Not sure I should apply at my experience level)

    Request you to kindly suggest which Colleges should I target from above list or any other ?

    Thank you

    • Shubhav, at your experience and profile you should not be looking for regular 2-year PGDM course. MICA-PGDM(C) will also not be suitable for you as it is a 2 year programme and that too for Marketing Communications enthusiasts. You can also look for GL-PGPM course and ISB-Hyderabad.

  96. sir, i scored 82. something percentile in all the sections, and an overall score of 88.76 percentile. Can i expect a call from XLRI-BM, XLRI-HRM, or XIMB?

  98. Sir I have got 74percentile in xat. I have graduated in 2013 and no work experience. Sir my question is whether a call from xime is possible and is it worth joining or should I try again next year

    • Rhea, XIME is an average college. If you are not desperate to go for MBA this year, try for Tier 1 colleges next year.

    • Rhea, the call from XIME is very much possible. Whether to drop an year or not will depend on other factors as your work-ex and profile.

    First of all kudos to Team CL for calculating my score and percentile this close..Hats off!.
    My XAT score is

    Do I expect calls from XLRI(BM & HRM) and XIMB(BM)?..Also I am working in an IT company and we have long stressful working hours which make me impossible to visit classes for GDPI. Could you mention some easy mantras to prepare for this ?..
    Thanks again.

    • Kanad, you should be getting calls for both the courses from XL. Please wait for a few days for the blog on preparing for GD/ WAT and PI.

  104. Hello GP Sir,

    QA-89.73
    VA/LR-76.71
    DM-82.48
    GK-1.5
    Have applied only for XLRI , IMT and S.P.Jain. can i expect anything from these two institutes? should i apply for TAPMI,GIM and GL 1 year program?My CAT way below expected with 67. Im in my final year of B.E with 95% average of 10th, 12th and graduation and have a job offer from infosys, my cat is NC-OBC what should be my immediate step?
    please do reply.

  110. Sir,
    My XAT Score:
    OA: 92.32
    QA: 94.57
    VA: 90.14
    DM: 56.76
    I have applied to IMT-G, LIBA, and TAPMI
    Do I have any chance of converting IMT-G if I get a call? Considering that my score is just 2 points above the cut off of 90.
    Also, please rate these colleges, are they worth joining this year and worth the investment, some people say that the quality of IMT and TAPMI is going down due to the increase in number of seats, so looking at that, are they worth the investment?
    I’m currently in my final year, placed in TCS, should I join one of these colleges, if I convert, or try next year for a better score?
    Please also provide me with your email address for future correspondence.

    • Arjun, the personality assessment stage usually has around 50-60% weight in the selection process so a good performance here can easily cover up for the CAT/XAT score. The decision of joining should be taken after you get the final call. However with a good job at hand you can definitely consider taking another shot at CAT/XAT. Do go through the process, it will be a useful experience.

    QA = 75.31
    EL/LR = 78.65
    DM = 72.13
    overall = 80.62
    Is there any chance that i can get a call from GIM or IFMR???
    .

  113. sir,its very surprising for me to see a score of 8.5 in va fetching me just 70 %le unlike your prediction above,so i’m of xl-HR race.so unkind.

  115. Sir thank you for your responses.Please help me,can i get a call from BIMTECH at the following XAT percentile:-
    QA-59.21
    VA-53.66
    DM-78.69
    OA-65.83

  116. While my overall XAT score was a little below the predictions based on solutions by CL, TF and TIIME, the main shocker was VA. My final score is as follows-

    QA 96.6
    VA 58.72
    DM 82.48

    Overall 91.37

    I know XLRI is ruled out but I have domicile in XIMB. I have also applied to XIMB through CAT and got 87.37 overall with 74.49 in QADI and 92.04 in VALR. Can I expect an XIMB call or are the chances really slim because of my low VA score in XAT or the low QADI and overall score in CAT?

  117. Dear GP sir,
    CL could never have been more accurate.

    I am working for a year and a half in a large Multi national Conglomerate, and my graduation is from a reputed college. My 10 &12 are around 85.
    Is a call from SP jain possible, in operations?
    Also, please let me know if I can get a call for XLRI HRM.

    i have applied to GIM,can i expect a call?
    Also,should i apply to TAPMI, LIBA and K J Somaiya through XAT?

    • Deepti, GIM may not happen for you at 84.67%ile.
      You should apply to TAPMI, LBSIM, FORE and Nirma Univ.
      KJ Som is not through XAT, it is through CAT and CMAT only.

    I already applied to TAPMI,GIM,LIBA,BIMTECH,IFMR. What are my chances of getting a call ?

    Please give me your suggestions.
    Thanks in advance

    • Ajay, at 77%ile you are unlikely to get a call from any of the colleges mentioned above. It is however possible that TAPMI may consider you due to your work experience. Given your work experience LIBA, BIMTECH and IFMR are not recommended. You can try Great LAkes Chennai 1 year program also.

  123. Sir, I am an SC candidate….i have got 70.12 percentile and 23.49 percentage in XAT 2014….from which all colleges can i get a call from?

    Kindly reply…Thanks in advance.

    • Aditya, the overall cut-off for HRM was 92 percentile last year. You might miss that. SP Jain and IMT are also unlikely to call at that score. GL-Chennai is possible.

      • Sir,
        Thanks for your reply.

        Isn’t it true that last year the last person to get into XLRI-HRM was having 88%ile. TIME confirmed the same…

    • Anuja, you might miss the overall cut-off for XLRI-HRM. But considering the increase in intake this year, you can have little hope. Wait for the official calls of XLRI on 23rd.

      • Thanks for the reply 🙂

        I have one more question. Can you tell me the selectio method for XLRI? In IIMs they have separate selection criteria for every IIM which takes into account whole profile (like school and college exam scores, work exp) but does XLRI have any publicly disclosed selection criteria or it is purely based on XAT score?
        In case it is purely based on XAT score, then does everyone who clears the cutoff get a call?

        Thanks!

  162. Shank, try to get a good job and prepare well for the exams next year. Brush-up your basics of Mathematics first.

  163. Sajin, higly unlikely that you’ll the calls from these colleges except Welingkar, which is also a borderline case.

    Can you please tell me which colleges can i expect to get a call from? Are there any colleges considering overall cutoff and not sectional?

    Thank you

  165. my xat score is 86.81 sectionals are quant:28.62, verbal 85.92 and decision makin 98.18. I havnt filled any colleges affiliated to xat yet. Should I fill the rest or because of my sectional imbalance I shudn’t. Is there any chance for TAPMI, LIBA, Kirlorskar, Wellingkar, XIME, XIMR?

    • Vrunda, TAPMI and LIBA look difficult as they may consider sectionals too. XIME and XIMR are very much possible.

  166. Hello sir… i have got a XAT score of 76.11 percentile.. can u plz suggest some colleges from which i can get a call.

    PS: Last year I got a call for XLRI HRM with 65 in QA but didn’t convert, I hope that happens for this year too 🙁

  169. Sir, my OA is 99.49%ile but sectionals in QA and VA are 93.97 and 93.77. Is it a cause for concern? In 2012, QA cut off was 92%ile.

    Sir could you help me out with these disappointing scores of 460 in GMAT and 27.44 percentile in XAT to apply to few colleges if possible.
    Appreciate your help.

      • Sir, how is this college called IBS Hyderabad? I have got a call to attend their selection process through my GMAT score. Should I try for it? Are their any chances in the NRI quota other colleges with GMAT? I am not a dumb student, but has been lack of planning and now I am really falling short of time.
        Thank you so much for your help!

          • Sir, I have done B.E. Hons. Computer Science Engg (2012 graduate) Work ex- 1yr and a half as of march 2014. GMAT score is 460(quant-42, verbal 13)

          • Sushm, try on improving your GMAT score and also build a work-experience of at least a couple of years with good profile. Having done that you’ll have decent chances for ISB.

  184. Sir my XAT percentile is 94.63 with sectionals as

    • Shank, if both CAT and XAT have given you very poor results then possibly the MBA entrances are not something that you should be after. My suggestion is to pick up a job, work for a few years and then consider an Executive MBA.

    CL predicted my OA to be 96.95 and that is very close enough. But their i was scoring 9.25 in VA n here i got only 30.37% or 7.25 marks :(. I applied only for XLRI BM. With a percentile of 70 in VA, what are my chances of making through?

    Thanks In advance.

  199. My XAt scores
    QA-95.38%
    DM-92.3%
    VA-78.56%
    OA-96.07%

    By any chance can i expect a call from XLRI considering my Verbal score? Will the cutoff for English be lower than 80% considering there is a increase in intake for HR and BM this time?

    • Aditya, very less chances that the cut-off of VA will fall below 80 percentile. Wait for 23rd January for the official calls. You might just make the cut.

  201. Hello sir… i have got a XAT score of 76.11 percentile.. can u plz suggest some colleges from which i can get a call.

    • Anmol, ITM-Navi Mumbai seems feasible. You may just miss the cut-offs of Welingkar, GITAM and other similar B-Schools

  202. Hi Sir,
    QA : 64.35 percentile
    VA : 82.06 percentile
    DM : 88.97 percentile…
    OA : 85.39 percentile

    Which colleges should I expect a call from?And which colleges should I apply to?

  203. Sir i scored 83.48 Percentile in XAT. Which Colleges can i get a call form?
    I have applied to IMT,LIBA,GIM,TAPMI and BIMTECH.
    Are there any other Colleges i should apply to?

    • Pratik, the cut-offs of all the colleges you have listed are likely to be around or above 85 percentile. You might make the cut for BIMTECH though. Wait for the official calls from these colleges.

    • Karan, please post your sectional percentiles. Overall you have bright chances for the call. You’ll have to justify your GA score in the PI though.

  206. sir which is the best among these? i want to do MBA in finance.
    bimtech, nibm pune, ifmr chennai, welingkar mumbai, liba, xime bangalore?
    pls arrange them in order.
    what package can i expect out of dese colleges?
    i have to do my mba dis year itself. and dese r d only options. 🙁

    • Meera, all these are almost at the same level and will offer a salary of around Rs 5 lakh pa. Suggest that you defer the decision of which one after you have the final calls.

  207. Sir,
    I’m sure to clear the cutoff for VA and QA but my DM score is 8.
    Is it likely that the actual DM score will be less than or equal to 8?

    • Rajarshi, these cutoffs are estimates and the actual cutoffs could be different. Hopefully DOM cutoff will be lower and you will get a call. All the best.

  208. Dear Sir,
    I have a cat score of 86.xx and have sectional scores over 80 percent. Is LIBA and TAPMI definitely possible at this score? I have work ex of 28 months. From arts background. Which other low cost and good quality institutes would be suggest at this score? Is anything better possible for an anticipated XAT score of 19? I would be grateful for your response.

    • Ann, at that score you have slim chances of getting a call from TAPMI. LIBA is possible though.
      Please refer to the blogpost for the cut-offs of XLRI and XAT-allied institutes.

  210. Hello sir,

    My XAT SCORE varies in the range of 29.75-33.25.
    and QA-6.5(the only section in which i doubt to clear sectional cut off).
    Also, My CAT percentile is OA: 96.82 QA:94.5 VA:95.05
    Can I expect calls from New IIms and MDI?
    And keeping in view the high weightage accounted to CAT percentile in MDI, will it be likely for me to get admission in MDI at this percentile(in case I get a call).?

    • Ariya, you can be sure of getting calls from at least a couple of the new IIMs. Decent chances for MDI too. Yes it is likely to convert MDI with an excellent GD and PI.

  211. Hello sir,
    i got OA : 85.78% with QA : 90.88%, VA :75.4% in cat ’13..I belong to N OBC catgry, passed out in 2012 and have no wrk exp..which colleges should i apply? pls help…

  213. gp sir, at a XAT score of 20 will LIBA and TAPMI give me a call?
    also, does NIRMA has sectional cutoff? if so,will they call me at a VA score of 49.14 QA score of 94.95 and overall 81.85?
    pls suggest some more colleges at dese CAT and XAT scores….
    i have to take admission this year itself..no other option….kindly help sir.

    • sir, i will also be appearing for MICAT. kindly give me some tips as how to prepare for it? its difficulty level? how many questions to attempt and all? what all to study for GK?
      kindly elaborate.

      • Meera, the GK in MICAT is mostly related to Business and current affairs with special attention to media communications and advertisements. For the creative writing sections, start practicing essays and picture-based stories.

    • Ananya, please refer to the blogpost for the cut-offs of XLRI and XAT-allied institutes.
      Wait for a few days for the official calls from XIMB.

  221. Sir, I will most probably score 33.25 as per CL Key in XAT with above 10 score in all three sections but GK was a disaster just 2 in that. Essay went great i suppose.

    My question is what are the realistic chances of converting XLRI-BM as I am a fresher with good academic credentials near 90% in X and XII. Graduate % = 82 from IIT.

    As this is my last hope, CAT messed up with just 96%ile. with Only IIM Indore to play for hopefully.

    Thanks in Advance!

    • Nishu, with 2 in GK you will need an exceptional interview to convert the XLRI call. Start your PDP classes immediately so that you are well preparied for the interview.
      Also refer to the blogpost Cutoffs of CAT allied institutes for the institutes where you can still apply and from where you can expect calls based on your CAT score.

      • Thank u sir for the realistic reply… I already have started PDP classes with CL.

        It is just either I convert SP Jain, XLRI or IIM Indore or I will go for a job and give CAT,XAT another shot down the line.

        I read out somewhere that GK and essay have 20 marks weight-age each in XLRI.. I was unable to find the exact breakdown of other criterion’s like academics, WAT/GD/PI, Work ex. etc.

        It would be great if you could share that here or give an rough estimate based on ur past experience with students.

        • NIshu, we’ll discuss that when the official calls from XLRI start flying. At this moment, focus on preparing well for GD/PI and forget the breakup of criteria for a few days.

    • Pranav, IMT Nagpur and Hyderabad are difficult at your score.
      I do not have information on XIMB Dual degree and hence cannot comment.

  224. Sir i have a score of 28.5.. i was relieved when u had uploaded xat cut offs(updated) ..but now again it says 29 for xlri j.. do i stand a chance sscores in va,dm,qa.. 11.25, 9.25, 8

  225. Sir i have a score of 28.5.. i was relieved when u had uploaded xat cut offs(updated) ..but now again it says 29 for xlri j.. do i stand a chance sir??

    • Avni, there is some error in the post and the old cutoffs have appeared. The expected cutoff for XL BM is 27.75 Will have it corrected tomorrow.

  227. Sir,
    My sectional scores are Quant – 10.25, Dm – 9.5 and Verbal – 7.75. Total 27.5 Percentile as per CL is 95. What do you think of the chances for getting a call from XLRI BM?

    Regards

  228. Sir
    As per CL predictor my raw score for XAT 2014 is 31.25.
    What percentile it could fetch me ?
    I guess I’ll clear the the cut-offs for XL, but want to make sure my percentile.
    Also in CAT my OA is 95.5 with 93.96 in QA and 92.78 in VA. Can I expect a call from XIMB BM through CAT, as my VA percentile is lower than previous year’s. Plz do reply.

  229. MY SCORES ACCORDING TO CL KEY
    VA=18.25
    DM=11.75
    QA=5
    OA=35.
    CL PREDICTOR IS PREDICTING 99.57%..IS IT ACCURATE??
    AND WHAT ABOUT MY CHANCES FOR XLRI??

    • Balu, score of 35+ will ensure 99+ percentile in XAT. For calls from XLRI BM and HRM you must have balanced sectionals too. QA score may play spoilsport for you.

    • Pranav, GL doesn’t declare the cut-offs. It will depend on the pool of candidates applying for GL. However, 85+ should have a decent chance for the call.

  232. Sir,

    I am getting XAT score of 17-19 wrt various predictors…..Could you please me approx percentile for this score ?… with this score can I expect call from XIME/ Welingkar bangalore/BIMTECH ?….

  233. Good Morning Sir,

    I have recived the following percentile :

    QA/DI : 99.97 (CL Prediction was 99.95)
    VA/LR : 82.40 (CL Prediction was 84.50)
    Overall : 99.63%le (CL Prediction was 99.64)

    First of all good job Sir and Team for such Accurate predictions.
    Secondly i’m convinced that normalization did not occur this year.
    Third where should i apply other than the IIM’s ?
    FMS , MDI do i have a chance ?

    • Anshu, Congratulations on your CAT performance and thanks for your appreciation of our efforts.
      Do apply to IIT Mumbai and Delhi, for details please refer to the post Cutoffs of CAT allied institutes for the institutes that you can apply to.
      You wil get calls from FMS and MDI.

  234. hello sir,
    my CAT score:
    OA: 80.28
    QA: 90.36
    VA: 59.91

    Sir, What are the chances at this score to get a good college?
    And which colleges should i apply at that score?

  235. sir…pls throw some light on nirma university, christ, iifm and bimtech.
    its cat cutoff, avg package, fees, etc.(for nirma and iifm)

    Should I apply to irma, wellingkar and ubs….?

    Thanks in advance

    Regards

    • Karanveer, based on your XAT score unfortunately no decent institute is possible.
      Please refer to the blogpost Cutoffs of CAT allied institutes for the institutes where you can still apply and from where you can expect calls based on your CAT score.
      KJ Som is possible based on your CMAT score of 187 (around 90%ile)

  237. I am expecting these scores in XAT.
    VA-9-11
    DM-11-12
    QA-2-3
    Overall-25-28

    Please tell me which are the best colleges I can get? Is IFMR good?

    • Ankita, with a total score of 25-28 marks and QA 2-3 in XAT you are likely to get calls from IMTG, GIM, TAPMI etc. You will miss out on XLRI and XIMB due to low QA score. IFMR can be a back up option for you.

  238. According to CL Exam corner OA-25.25
    quant-9
    verbal-10
    DM-6.25
    what calls i can expect
    applied for XIMB(MBA,HR),XLRI(HR),SP Jain,IMTG

  239. Hi Sir,
    I’m going to apply to BIMTECH Noida, GL Chennai – 1 Year Program and TAPAI. (Getting arnd 20 – 21 in XAT – 2.5 exp in IT)…
    I’m only interested in HR. Can u kindly shed some light into which of the mentioned three colls are good in terms of Placement Quality (Companies & Avg Package) for HR. If possible, pls provide in descending order. Thanks a lot Sir!!
    (I’m in doubt if GL provides HR course at all. Please confirm)..

    • Sankar, there is no special course for HR there. The three colleges which you have mentioned are average in terms of placements. There is nominal difference in the placements of these colleges and the ranking will go as TAPMI > GL >= BIMTECH.

  241. Sir, My cat score is as follow
    QA: 89.2
    VA : 47.7
    Total: 73.67
    I have total work exp of 18 months as of now.. Can I Expect call from TAPMI at this score because I hcame to know that last year they called everyone. and at this score shall I apply to IIT’s as I belong to NC – OBC category..TIA

  243. Sir with OA-96.67%ile.
    QA-98.38%ile and
    VA-84.91%ile what are the chances of getting IIMB, IIMK, IIML, SP Jain or MDI?
    X-85%, XII-80% and Grads – 65%. I am a Chartered accountant with 1 year work ex.

    • Sanchit, for IIM-L you may fall short of the cut-off. New IIMs are also ruled out. IIM K might just be a borderline case. You can be sure of getting a call from MDI.

  245. Sir, My xat score is coming around 22 in career launcher analysis and my CAT score is 84 Percentile. I have more than 3.5 wrk exp.
    can i expect calls from any where ? Plzzz help sir. I am general category.

  246. Hello Sir,

    According to CL keys, i am getting around 24 according to CL keys . I have already applied for IMT G. Do i have any chance in it. Also , i have 30 months work exp in IT, so should i apply for GL Chennai ? (update: i have got a pretty bad cat score so only hope left is xat)

    One last ques, how do you rate TAPMI, i want to know where it stands among IMT G and others. Eagerly waiting for your reply.
    Thanks.

    • Vineet, TAPMI is an above average college. You can apply for GL Chennai and you do have a decent chance of getting a call from IMT-G. Just wait for your official XAT scores.

  247. Abhishek, the percentile predictor has been fairly accurate wrt SNAP and CAT scores and I am fairly confident of the XAT percentiles also so you can apply on the basis of XAT percentile predictor also.

  248. Dear Sir,

    I’m expecting the following scores as per the CL key:

    VA: 9.75
    QA: 10
    DM: 12
    OA: 31.75

    I’m more interested in XL-HR. I feel VA is on the edge. Does it look safe to you?

    Thanks!

      • Sir,

        The predicted cut offs that you mentioned on this blog(whose title was XAT 2014 Cut Offs Updated) seemed to be different when I had looked a couple of days earlier. Or was it just misconception on my part?

    • Rohit, once the official results are out and you get your percentile of XAT, we can comment on the chances of getting calls from colleges.

  253. Sir

    What can be the estimated cutoffs for GMP?
    My score is VA – 11.25
    DM – 11
    QA – 4

    Is the score sufficient for a GMP interview call?

    • Rohit, wait for the official XAT results. Depending on your actual percentile we can comment whether you’ll be getting a call or not.

  254. My cat score is qa di 78.76, va lr 95.06 oa 91.29…which colleges can shortlist me? is there any chance for ximb bm(under domicile quota)?

  265. Sir,

    • Saurabh, the applications for most of the premiere institutes are over. At your score, GIM and TAPMI are the options you should be looking for.

  274. cat 2013 results

    • Pc, through CAT IMI Kolkata, IIFM Bhopal, IMT Nagpur, XIME and other calls are possible if you have applied to these colleges. Through XAT, at this much expected score XISS will be a sure shot call.

  275. Sir my XAT(CL) scores are:

    DM-10.5
    QA- 2.75

    Thanks in advance.

  277. Sir,
    with OA score=16( excluding GK(4)) in XAT can i expect call from TAPMI or XISS ?
    please suggest some other colleges as well that i can opt for with this score. my academics are-
    work experience in an IT mnc=39 months
    10=88.8%
    12=68%
    Btech=77.7%

    • mandip, unfortunately calls are unlikely form any decent XAT institute at your score. With a work experience of over 3 years my suggestion is to try for Executive (or 1 year MBA) next year.

  279. R / Sir

    i got overall 92.46%le in cat, 96.14%le in QADI & 78%le in VALR.I have 28 months of experience. i am a commerce graduate. so being a female candidate can i get the call from new IIMs. And should i fill up form for IIT DELHI & MUMBAI.

    plz sir reply as soon as possible becoz IITs dates are due .
    i shall be very thankful to you.

    • Manisha, it is difficult but you could get calls from some of the IIMs. IIT Delhi, Mumbai are unlikely at 92.46%ile but you can try for Roorkee, Kanpur and Chennai. You should also apply to TAPMI and MICA.

  282. Sir,
    CAT result is out. Thanks to your knowledge i got a very good percentile. I got 82.56 in quant and in english i got 94.27 and overall is 91.88. Please guide me as to which colleges i should apply. i have already applied to XIMB, KJ Somaiya… Please reply soon…

  284. sir scored 80.82 in cat without any preparation..as im preparing for gate.and ies.Marks in 10th & 12th are 88 and 77.8 and in graduation (currently) 72% wht should i do?

    • Yudhvir, pick up a job and also prepare for CAT’14. If without preparation you are getting 80%ile then with reparation you can definitely reach 97-98%ile which will ensure good MBA colleges.
      However if your focus is IES then forget CAT and focus on GAT/IES.

  285. sir got 73.02%ile in CAT 2013 …. will I get any call for second round (PI-WAT) from any of the IIMs ??? SC candidate .. ???

  286. Sir,
    Thank you sir for providing your esteemed knowledge. CAT result is out. i got 82.56 percentile in quant and 94.27 in verbal and overall is 91.88. I have filled forms in KJ somaiya, XIMB acc to your B school advisory. Please tell me other colleges which i should apply??? Reply fast please sir…..

  287. Sir
    A very gud evening to you and happy lohri. Sir i have a expected score of 26.75 in XAT that gives 93.92%. I have applied for GIM and XIMB but my gk score is very bad 0.25. According to the cut offs given i wud get a call from above mentioned colleges but my gk score will it matter in the final selection. Also my essay was not that gud.
    Also i have 76% in snap and i am expecting a call from SIMS(def quota). In that case which one is the best college among these three.
    Waiting for your reply.

    • Shubham, Essay and GK scores have been used only by XLRI till last year and this is likely to continue this year also, so you are safe wrt GIM and XIMB.
      My order of preference will be XIMB, GIM and lastly SIMS.

  288. Sir,with a score of 21.25 in XAT..What are the decent colleges I can have a shot at?..I got 4.25 in GK. & will that come in the way of any call?..
    Regards-

    • Shaunak, at 21.25 in XAT your options are restricted to XISS, XIME and LIBA. GK score is used by only XLRIso it will not be a problem.

  289. Sir my score according to CL is as follows:
    VA: 9
    DM: 11.75
    QA: 6.25
    OA: 27
    GK::7.5
    There is a lot of discrepancy about the answers on the web. I’ve only applied for XLRI ( BM and HR) and SP JAIN. What are my chances?

  290. Sir,
    I have following score according to CL:
    VA- 7
    DM- 12.25
    QA- 9
    OA- 28.25
    Is a call from XLRI (BM) and SP Jain possible.
    Besides these i have filled up IMT Ghzb and GIM. Are these enough or should I keep more backups?

  291. Hello gp sir,
    my xat-2014 scores

    VA-9.75
    DM-13.5
    QA-4.75

    OA-28 (as per CL )

    although as per ur analysis QA-cut off would be 5-6 for Hrm ,do u think the QA cut-off may go below 5 to fetch atleast 70 %le.I’m really at my wit’s end to hav this QA score of mine

    • Gati, hopefully it will go below 5 but I am not sure. We will have to wait a couple of weeks to find out and till then you will have to bear the suspense.

  292. Sir,
    My XAT overall as per cl score calculator is 17.
    I have 2 yrs work experience.
    I had applied to LIBA , BIMTECH and GIM.
    Do I stand a chance in these colleges.
    Should i consider applying to Xime?
    Which other colleges will you suggest for me at this score?

    Thanks in advance

    • Ajay, unfortunately at 17 marks in XAT these colleges are unlikely. Hopefully CAT will give you a better score.
      All the best.

  294. sir, my xat score is 26.25 according to CL key…
    i have applied to XLRI BM/HR and SPJIMR.
    can i expect a call from these institutes?
    also what is the cat cutoff for TAPMI? and is it a good institute?

      • Shweta, at 25 XLRI BM and SP Jain are unlikely but calls are possible from all other XAT programs including XL HR.
        TAPMI is a good institute and you should apply to it. Its cutoff is likely to be around 22.75 marks.

          • sir, do the cutoffs mentioned above ensure a call from XLRI or it implies that our scores will be taken into consideration? because i don’t think at 25 XLRI will give me a call.
            sir also tell me the cat cutoff for icfai hydrebad?

          • Shweta, these are the scores at which you are likely to get a call.
            ICAFAI Hyd is not through CAT but through IBSAT.

  295. sir, i have applied to ximb (rm) through cat and xat. i am odisha domicile. bt i fear i may not clear the cutoff in xat quants. does ximb (rm) takes sectional cutoff into consideration or just the overall score?

    • Priya, XIMB has sectional cutoffs but they are likely to be lwer than what we have estimated. So let us hope for the best.

  296. Sir
    As per your CL calculations I got:
    VA:10
    DM:7.75
    QA:8.5
    GK:4
    OA:26.25 ,I’ve applied for only XAT BM ,do you think I’ve a chance?

  297. MY COMPOSITE SCORE percentile OF SNAP is 13.775
    verbal 15.73
    quant 1.73
    analitical and LR 1.52
    GA 67.76
    acedmic performance 79.92 percentile and
    SNAP percentile is 1.964
    so is there any chance of getting gd/pi calls………….the score in quant and reasioning is very unexpected………..and not having any job experience………………………….what the hope………kindly suggest…………

    • Kirti, unfortunately at your score callis not possible from any SNAP institute. Focus on Feb CMAT and MAT to get into a good b school. Hopefully CAT will be better.

  298. Hi Sir,

    I am gettiing around 22.5 from CL E- Omr.. which all colleges i need to apply.. i have around 2 years of experience.. Pls help me out.. and are these scores accurate ??

    • Pavan, you can consider applying to TAPMI and GL Chennai but these two are also borderline cases. These scores are accurate.

  299. hello gp sir ,
    plz provide TEST TAKING STRATEGY…. on MAT feb 2014………….OR if there is something available related to MAT so,suggest some refrences…………HOW MUCH questions we should attempt to tried our best …percentile…………

  300. Himanshu, given your work experience GL Chennai and TAPMI are possible even though your score is a bit lower than the required number. Both of these are good institutes and worth joining if you get a call.
    All the best.

    • Thanks a tonne GP sir, 🙂

      Apologies for asking the same question twice.

      Sir could you please personally ADVICE

      “” “Seeing my current profile and package(4.2lakh)””” .. if I really should go for an MBA from Great lakes/TAPMI(If possible) that can boost my package by considerable amount. 🙁

      Please reply sir , it will be a great help sir…
      Thank You sir…!!!!
      :

      • Himanshu, both GL Chennai 1 year program and TAPMI are worth joining and both are likely to take your package to around 9-10 lakh pa.

  301. Sir,
    My scores stand thus:
    VA-12
    DM-4
    QA-5.25
    G.K.-4.25
    OA-25.50 (with GK)
    Could you please advise me on the colleges I could apply to and stand a fair chance?
    Regards-

  302. Sir, I have a doubt that CL predicator shows me a percentile of 97.17 but if more students appear or fill in the scores here at CL, than will the percentile change? If so, how can I check my updated percentile?

    My next query is regarding the results and shortlisted candidates. Will XLRI announce the list of shortlisted candidates on the day of result itself?

    Thankyou!

    • Swati, the percentile will not change with more students submitting their data.
      XLRI will announce its shortlist a couple of days after the declaration of XAT results.

  303. Hello sir,
    I am a student of CL Kolkata and I had a query, i.e. in the CL XAT e-OMR,I just filled in the answers to the Quants,Verbal and Decision Making sections.Are the percentiles we are getting also taking into account the GK scores?..If so,I haven’t filled that in yet.Please advise.
    Regards-
    :).

  304. Sir i am getting VA-11.5 DM-9.25 and QA-11.5 according to CL’s answer key.
    I have doubt about clearing DM cut off..
    I have applied for Xl-BM and Spjimr(missed profile based call) only..

  305. gp sir..just chcked nmat result..got 193..:-( i know there’s no hope of getting into nmims…last hope is only CAT now..:-( sir can u suggest some good private colleges? even if dey provide placements upto 3-4 lakh. den also its ok..but i really want to do MBA dis year itself..pls reply to the above query also (the link for actual cat cutoffs of all colleges)…waiting eagerly for your replies.

  306. Sir,
    I would like to know if I have chance to get a call from XIMB(HR) with a XAT score of 22.5 as predicted by CL.
    I have an OBC cat and Orissa domicile.
    As u have mentioned that 23.5 would be the cutoff for XIMB(HR), i would like to know if the cutoff vary for domicile students.

    • My score in QA is only 5, but with 100% accuracy.
      This is where, I feel, I may be rejected for XIMB(HR).
      And I dont have any work ex.
      help me out…Being to XIMB is a thing i am looking upon

  307. Sir, I am expecting an overall score of 16.25 in XAT 2014. Sir can I expect call from XIME or LIBA or any other decent institute.Please reply soon.

  308. gp sir, can u pls tell me the link for the cutoff’s of various colleges under CAT? because somewhere different cutoffs are mentioned and somewhere different.(for eg. somewhere the cutoff for LBSIM is 89 and somewhere it is 83.25). pls mention the link for correct cutoff’s.

  309. Sir,

    According to CL eomr I am scoring around 83.44%ile
    I have work-ex of 27 months with decent academics n decent extra curriculars… with this kind of score which other colleges I can expect other than GIM, I haven’t applied for any other colleges.. so pls suggest me some colleges for which I can apply…

    Thanks,
    Nitish

  310. QA = 9.25
    DM = 15.5
    VA = 10.75
    OA = 35.5
    GK =0.75
    10th – 93
    12th – 90.4

    Sir is my OA is good enough for a call in XL-BM, as i have applied for only XLRI and only BM.
    If yes will my low score in GK have an adverse impact on the final selection ??

    • Anmol,

      BM is not likely at 90%ile, HRM also is an outside chance. The other colleges that you should consider are XIMB, GIM, Great Lakes, Chennai

        • Anmol, that was an error, you will get calls from all XAT programs including XLRI. However converting XL calls could be difficult due to your low GK score. You will need an exceptional interview to convert XL calls, start p=PDP classes immediately.

  311. Hi Sir,
    Score of 8.5 IN VA
    10.75 DM
    & 6.25QA
    Do I stand a chance of call from XLRI QA is troubling me a bit and I am confused after seeing the results of SNAP which have gone totally unexpected Shall I start preparing for GD/PI for XAT?

  312. Dear GP,

    What is the XAT CUTOFF for the following : GLIM,TAPMI ,I am getting 87.66 percentile as per CL predictor.But do the cutoffs be that low for the above bschools??

  313. Hello sir,
    According to CL eOMR i am managing following marks:
    VA : 9.75
    DM : 10.75
    QA : 8.75
    OA : 29.25

    And according to cutoffs provided there, i may manage a call from XLRI-BM. And except for XLRI-BM and IMT-G i have not filled any other applications.

    I am having an experience of 30 months and currently working in a PSU as Engineer. I scored 65% in 10th, 63% in 12th and 73% in my BE. So my question is even if i manage a call from XLRI-BM or IMT-G, what are my chances for a conversion (having negative thoughts because of my not so good acads). And also what courses or changes shall i undergo to make my background/profile a little better (which can manage a good B-School).

    Thank You
    Ragards
    Pradeep

    • Dear Pradeep put in your best efforts in the interview process. Your work experience should help you. Highlight your extra-curricular activities. As for courses, changes etc. let’s first concentrate on the second stage of selection. Start your PDP now.

      • Dear Sir,
        Today results for XAT were announced and i managed following percentile scores.
        VA : 96.2
        QA: 70.37
        DM: 98.51
        OA: 97.82
        What are my chances for a XLRI BM call? Considering my VA score?

          • This is as stupid as it seems sir but somehow i made a mistake while tying that message and interchanged my QA and VA percentiles. I am extremely sorry for that sir. My Percentiles are in below order
            QA: 96.20
            VA: 70.37
            DM: 98.51
            OA: 97.82
            Sorry for that error and wasting your time because of that. I would really be thankful if you can provide insights on above scores.

    DM-13
    VA-11
    QA-2.5 🙁
    Do i have chance at IMT G and Great Lakes Chennai?

  315. SIR
    My XAT scores as per CL key are:
    VA-11.5, DM-11.25,QA-1.0 G.K-2.25 OVERALL:23.75
    predicted %ile: 87.64
    10th: 81.2%
    12th:77.4%
    Graduation(B.Sc.(hons.) chem.) :70.81%
    No work exp.
    I’ve applied for IMT-Gzb & GIM.
    sir can u pls tell me from which b-schools can i get a call & what are the others forms i should fill? and also wht should be my preferences?
    Sir how much close will be the real %ile of xat to the predicted one?
    my snap actual %ile was lower than the predicted one, so i’m feeling a little bit nervous 🙁
    Regards

  317. Hi Sir, my overall xat score according to CL comes to 19.25, is there any chance for me to receive calls from TAPMI or Great Lakes? Which colleges do you suggest I apply for?

    • Dear Anoop,

      There are very bleak outer chances, you may apply to XIMB RM if you are interested in Rural Management and you can also look at IMT Hyd, if you want to do MBA this year only

  318. Hello Sir

    I scored 8 VA, 10.5 DM, 9.75 QA making it a total of 28.25. Can I expect a call from XLRI BM and also from XIMB, GIM?

  319. VA – 8.5, DM – 13.5 and QA – 9.75 with an overall of 31.75 and a score of 5 in GK. Can i expect calls from XLRI BM and SP Jain?Wont the VA score be a problem?
    Also i am a chartered accountant with 1 year work ex so what are my chances of conversion if i do get a call?

    • Sanchit, VA appears to be okay and calls are possible from both and given your background a good chance of selection. Start PDP classes immediately.

          • Sir with OA-96.67%ile.
            QA-98.38%ile
            VA-84.91%ile what are the chances of getting IIMB, IIMK or IIML as i have a work ex of 1 year and i am a CA?

          • Sanchit, IIM-B calls are profile based. L looks difficult but K might be possible if you have good academics.

  321. Also sir, considering that I have 2.5 yr work exp and around 9lpa of ctc.
    Is it worth going to Narsee Monjee-Mumbai and/or Sp-Jain 1 yr course (Dubai/Singapore).
    I am having/expecting calls from both of them?-Thanks again..

  322. GP Sir,

    My Score as per CL predictor is :

    VA-8
    DM-10
    VA-6.25
    Gk-5.25

    I have 3+ years experience.Shall I apply for Great Lakes and what other colleges may I get a call from?

  323. Hi Sir, I am getting around 38.5 with balanced sectionals in XAT.

    I have good acads and around 2.5 yr of work exp
    My question is following:
    1] How much weightage is given to XAT in final admission- Does a very high XAT score guarantee any of the final conversion either BM or HR? or say drastically increase conversion chance (as in narsee monjee/MDI/FMS)
    Also what is weightage given to different components in XLRI final selection- this answer will help me a lot
    2] How and what do I prepare for GD/interviews.
    Actually,I want to begin my preparations at the earliest as my work-pressure will be too much in coming days.Plz guide me.
    3] My current CTC is around 9 lpa and have only applied in XLRI through XAT.
    Is there any other good college which I can apply using XAT-considering my current CTC and work exp.- Thanks!

    • Abhi, given your background you should consider only XLRI/top IIMs/FMS/JBIMS. Among these JBIMS is the obnly other college to be aplied based on your XAT score. Rather it should be on the basis of your highset score in CAT/XAT/MAT/ATMA/CMAT.
      XLRI has not disclosed the weight for the various components. A very high score increases the chances of selection but many 99%ilers do not make it to the final list also indicates that the weight for XAT is not overwhelming. My suggestion is to focus on the GD/Int preparation to ensure a final call.

  324. Sir i have scored a total of 17 excluding GK in xat 2014 according to your key.What will be my likely percentile and which decent institutes will i get calls from?

    • Srinivas, please check the XAT Exam Zone in CL Exam Corner for your percentile and the institutes from where you can get a call.

  325. Sir,

    My CL e-omr score is :
    QA:7.5
    VA:11.25
    DM:12
    OA:30.75
    GK:5.75
    Do I have a chance for XLRI BM and HRM at this score(specially QA)?I have also applied for XIMB so can i get a call at this score?

    P.S:My essay was not that good.Grammatically correct but low in content and not so precise.

      • Thanks sir for the info.
        Just 1 more thing to ask: I have near about 90% in my boards(92 and 88) but I have a low grad score(71%).Considering how SNAP has done its marking can it be judged that my low grad score will be a dampener in my XLRI/XIMB calls.Also do academic gaps(between 12th and colg) in between hamper the chances?.I have also a 1.5 work exp.

        • Dear Kanad,

          Please focus on your GD/PI Prep. As for the gap you should be able to tell honestly why the gap was there to the interview panel. XL and XIMB’s profiling might not replicate what was done by SNAP

          Team Cl

          • GP sir,
            My NMAT score in 2nd attempt is 216
            QA:74
            VA:67
            LR:75
            Last year the sectional cutoff for QA was 74.Is there a chance that it would go up this year?..Also do at 216 candidates have a realistic chance for their NM core MBA Mumbai call or is it an uphill task…?

  326. GP Sir,
    Have not your revert of my previous query, request , May i get the probable cut offs of XAT test for GMP 15 month course for Working Prof in XLRI GMP course.
    As per CL Calc : me scores would be
    VA- 18
    DM- 4
    QA- 3
    with GK 3.25

    Eagerly waiting for ur revert plzzz

  327. Sir my scores are VA-10.75 , DM-10.25 , QA-8 , OA- @9.0
    Do you think I can manage a call from XLRI BM? I’m worried about my QA

  328. sir.
    I wanted to know about great lakes PGPM course. Is it worth(in terms of ROI).?
    I have more than 2.5 yrs of experience in a MNC organisation and have a rank of 300 in may CMAT exam.
    Waiting for your reply.

    • Varun, GL Chennai 1 year program is a good course and you can consider applying to it.
      You should also take Feb’14 MAT as it will give you a higherf percentile than CMAT and hopefully get into JBIMS.

      • Does JBIMS accept Feb MAT scores as well? Since I am not from Maharashtra, I will have to perform incredibly well to get into it. I have already filled up the CMAT form. Does the MAT give me a better chance?

        • Dear Varun,

          JBIMS accepts Feb MAT scores as well. If you are not from Maharashtra, you actually will have to perform incredibly well as the total number of seats for aspirants outside Maharashtra is hardly 20 (actually only 18).
          Please work hard for both MAT awa CMAT in order to improve your chances. They accept CAT, CMAT and MAT scores, whichever is higher (scaled down) for their selection procedure.

        • Varun, yes Feb’14 MAT will be accepted by DTE for JBIMS and other colleges and since MAT is simpler than CMAT I will prefer MAT. A higher percentile score is possible in MAT as compared to CMAT.

  329. Sir this one is not my personal issue but one of my friend’s. He has scored 37 overall with 20 in QA,13 VA, but around only 4 in DM. So despite getting such a good score overall, is it likely that he will still not get a call from XL-BM because of low DM score? Sir, do they not give any bonus calls to people with exceptionally high scores?

  331. According to CL predictor, I’m getting an overall score of 21.75. Can i expect a call from IMT Ghaziabad/Great Lakes/GIM ?

  332. Sir, I have submitted my score, but I am not able to see the expected percentile. The popup asks me to fill the eOMR which I have already filled. Anyways, my score is:
    Verbal Ability-12 Decesion Making-9 Quantitative Ability-7, OA-28. Do I stand a chance for XL?

    • Deepak, please check again for the percentile.
      XL BM could be difficult due to 7 in QA but call from XL HR is likely.

  333. Sir i have cleared the overall cut off for all institutes under xat…but i am not able to clear quant cut off…would i get any call?

    • Akhilesh, each one of us are entitled to our opinion.
      In my estimate a score of 15+ in QA and 35+ overall will give you 99.5%ile plus.

      • Sir I agree with you. But then 99.5 percentile is what would be needed to stay in the race for coveted BL seat of XLRI right? I mean, can someone with only 98 percentile finally convert XL if he does not give a highly exceptional GD?

        • Dear Akhilesh,

          It would be very difficult to comment on that. However, you should put in your best efforts in the GD.

          Team CL

  335. Sir does XAT percentile play a big role in final selection? I heard that the median percentile in BM class of XLRI is 99.3%ile and it is not always easy to convert even with decent GD-PI if XAT percentile is below 99 percentile. Is that true? Need your opinion sir as I am not getting the urge to study for GD-PI stage if this is the truth. I am getting a score of 31.5 in XAT which will be only around 98 percentile.

    • Marathwa, XAT percentile is important but students with lowerr percentiles also make it to the final list. Infact many 99%ilers do not convert their call hence while XAT percentile is important it does not have a very high weightage. So focus on your PDP classes and a good performance in the interview will get you a final call from XLRI.
      All the best.

    can i expect call from xlri?..are the chances terribly low due to negative gk score??

    • Shashank, XLRI calls are unlikely at your score. Calls from all other XAT institutes are possible and since they do not consider GK score it will not be a problem.

  338. Sir,
    getting Score-25.75/ percentile-91 as per CL calculator .
    Any chances for XLRI and XIMB?
    and Is IMT Ghz worth applying for someone with 2 years of work-ex?

  339. sir my xat score is 23 (VA:12+DM 8+QA 3 my gk score is 1 mark. ). 23 is a border line score.
    Will i get a call from xime/tapmi/gim if i apply? because xlri ximb etc are out of scope.

    and sir incase i do get a call , how is the possibility that i am struck off the final list due to my gk score?

    • Vivek, calls are possible from TAPMI, XIME, XISS and LIBA. GIM is a borderline case. GK score is used only by XLRI so it will not be a problem

  340. Sir, as per CL I am getting 6 in VA, 11 in DM, 13.25 in QA. I haven’t applied to any college other than XL. I wasn’t expecting to perform this bad at VA. Do you think there is any hope of 70%ile being achieved at 6 in VA.?

      • Sir, I have scored 99%ile on the SNAP, have IIFT call, scored AIR147 on the CMAT, and I am not planning to give any interview. I only want an IIM or XL. TAPMI is a big NO from my side. I just hope VA stoops a bit low. 🙂

        • Dushyant, go for the interviews as this will provide you good practice for the IIMs and XL. Also based on your CMAT score you should consider JBIMS also. IT is at par with your target institutes.

  341. Sir, I have a doubt in one VA question. In the RC question on money and work, an approproate title as given by CL is choice A,ie., Money and Work. But shouldn’t ie be choice C, iw., work and worship?
    In the entire passage the author is talking about the way one should pick up/choose the career/work and it should not be solely based on wages one will get or if it is a lucrative opportunity. On the contrary the choice of career/work
    should be as per the liking/love for that work/job. Finally he wants to prove that work is of prime importance and not the money involved. Therefore the best tile seems to be option 3 as when ‘worship’ takes the front seat then other factors such as
    money will take the back seat.

    • Dear June,

      If you carefully read the passage, you will be able to identify that the author is trying to establish the relationship between Money and Work throughout the passage. However, he in a paragraph, focuses on highlighting that one should work not only for money but that’s only a part of the passage. Therefore Money and Work suits better.

  342. Sir with a score of 21.75
    DM-11
    QA-2
    VA-8.75
    GK-6.25
    Which Colleges should i go for?
    Do i have chance at TAPMI?

  343. GP sir,
    i got VA – 15, DM -9, QA – 8.75, Total – 32.75 Can i expect a call from XLRI – BM. If in case i get, how adversely my GK score will make a difference in the latter stages?

  344. Sir, can u pls tell me the preference that I should give from highest to lowest amongst TAPMI, IMT G and IMT Nagpur? Also, are these institutes worth joining or should I wait a year and try to improve my score to get into a better institute?

  345. in verbal,7.75 in dm and 8.5 in quant ..can i expect call from xlri in hr or bm?
    please reply as soon as possible

  346. Dear GP Sir,
    I am getting 23.75 (87.44 per) according to career launcher xat percentile predictor…
    1)how many candidates’ responses have been taken into consideration for predicting the percentile.
    2)what are the bschool that I can expect with the above %le..

    • Raghu, the percentile calcultions had data of over 3000 students.
      XLRI and SP Jain are unlikley. Please refer to the XAT B school advisory for the institutes form where you can expect a call.

  348. VA-11
    DM-11
    QA-12.75

    OV-34.75

    GK-1

    What are the chances of getting a call for XL BM programme. ? I have only applied for this programme.

    • Deepak, interview call is on but due to your GK score you will need an exceptional interview to convert the call. Start PDP classes immediately.

  349. Hello sir,

    i am getting 90.1%ile according to Exam Corner.

    Have already applied for GIM and I am thinking of applying to TAPMI.

    But, do u advise me to fill IMT-G as the actual percentile might fluctuate a little bit.

    Awaiting your revert.

    Best Regards.

  350. Sir,

    My scores according to CL are VA: 8.75, QA: 10.75, and DM: 10.75, OA: 30.25. with GK being 8.

    Will I be getting a call from XLRI?

    • Sid, good chance of a call from all XAT programs (including XL BM) except XL HR which is a borderline case. Start PDP immediately.

  351. Sir, according to the CL predictor I am scoring 98.61 %ile but my quant score is a lowly 6.25. So I am ruling XLRI BM out. I wanted to know how good is the XLRI Global management program? I have applied for it along with HR.

  352. Dear Sir,

    According to CL exam corner my XAT score is as mentioned below:
    – QA = 3.5
    – VA = 7.5
    – DM= 13.5
    – GK = 4.5

    Applied to XLRI and SP jain only. I read on mbauniverse.com that IMT Ghaziabad deadline is extended, so considering to apply.
    My profile –
    10th = 80.13%
    12th= 68.3%
    B.E. (Mechanical), Mumbai University = 60.1%
    Work ex = 29 months in a German MNC ( attended two 3 weeks training in headquarters in Germany)
    Designation – Design Engineer, but also handled diverse functions like sales, ISO quality framework formation, commercial, post order processing etc. for small duration in this organization.
    Package = > 6lakhs pa

    I am not expecting any exceptional performance in CAT, SNAP or NMAT. This is my 2nd attempt for MBA exams and I am confused if I should attempt one more time or go for international MBA. Finance for international MBA would be a problem. Can please guide me on a proper direction?

    Awaiting your response.

    Thanks and regards,
    Nimish

    • Nimish, IMT G is a borderline case and given your work experience will have to be considered a back up option.
      My suggestion will be to go for CAT’14 and also take GMAT keeping ISB hyderabad and 1 year MBA programs from IIMs in mind.
      However let us wait for the CAT/XAT results before your decide on the way forward.

  353. Sir,
    I have a percentile of 95.95 according to CL. I am clearing cutoffs of all institutes in terms of overall scores. However i have got 7 marks in verbal thanks to silly mistakes i made in the exam. the VA cutoff of xlri is given to be 7.5. Is it expected to come down any furthur?

  354. My comments are not getting published and are still in moderation although I posted yesterday. Please check the same.

    • Ashima, I have been flooded with queries in the last 10 day and am running behind schedule. Your query has been answered.

  355. Sir,
    Is SRCC college for Global Business operations worth applying ? General category student. What is the Average package & the percent of placements done there ?
    Kindly guide sir

  357. sir can u give me some information about bimtech noida?
    its packages, fees, cat cutoff, and value..?
    also tell me which is better?
    bimtech noida or IP university for MBA in Finance?

    • Richa, BIMTECH NOIDA is a decent back up institute, its fee is in the range of Rs 8-9 lakh and cutoff will be around 90%ile. The cutoff for the sectoral MBA programs could be as low as 80%ile. For MBA Finance you will have to consider the flagship MBA program only. The average salary of graduates of this program will be in the region of Rs 5 lakh pa. IP University will be cheaper than BIMTECH but is not as well known and its placements will also be inferior.

      • thank u so much sir..what about IP(main campus)? can i consider it as a backup?
        fees is not an issue for me sir…..i can easily afford upto 15 lac.
        but i am not expecting good marks in CAT..that’s the reason i am considering backups.
        sir..90 %ile sounds high for BIMTECH….i read somewhere it is only 75 %ile.??
        sir also suggest me some more backups.

        • thank u so much sir..what about IP(main campus)? can i consider it as a backup?
          fees is not an issue for me sir…..i can easily afford upto 15 lac.
          but i am not expecting good marks in CAT..that’s the reason i am considering backups.
          sir..90 %ile sounds high for BIMTECH….i read somewhere it is only 75 %ile.??
          sir also suggest me some more backups.

        • Richa, IP University has not yet established its MBA program and hence is not recommended. It has low fee but placement will be an isue. The BIMTECH cutoff for the flagship program is around 90%ile but for the sectoral MBA programs it could go down to 75-80%ile also.
          Do take Feb’14 MAT as it will open the chances of getting into Mumbai Univeristy colleges through DTE.
          I will be coming out with a list of decent back up options by the end of this month.

          • ok thank u sir…i am very grateful to u for all your suggestions.
            i took mat last year and got 96 %ile. but dint go for it then in the hope of clearing cat or xat and getting a more decent college. i will wait for your list of backup options. as of now can u tell me how’s UPES dehradun?? and also tell me the admission process for MICA…..its cat cutoff and all…

          • Richa,

            As far as UPES Dehradun is concerned, it would not be very ideal to an MBA from there. For MICA you have to write MICAT, CAT percentile doesn’t matter.

  358. Sir, you said that by Wednesday you will come up with scores vs percentile estimates. By what time can we expect the results?

  359. Sir, I wanted to ask you something regarding XAT and tried to post a comment here. But it is yet to get posted as it’s ‘awaiting moderation’. There was no improper content in it. I have sent you an e:mail also regarding this @ gp@careerlauncher.com. Hope you’ll reply (eagerly awaiting).

    • Saikat, it has been responded, hope you have seen it.
      Unfortunately I have been flooded with queries in the last 10 days and am running behind schedule.

  360. Sir,
    Based on CL’s key, my XAT score is 21.75.
    VA-7.25
    DM-8
    QA-6.5
    What can I expect, in terms of percentiles and colleges?

    Thanks.

  361. Hello Sir,
    Please reply to the below query:
    I have got 180 overall marks in NMAT exam that i have given on 21st of Novenmber. Can i expect call from the NMIMS Mumbai campus and what is the cutoff this year for fourth window.

    Plzzz reply soon.

  362. Hi GP.

    I am expecting 39 marks in XAT but only 0.75 marks in GA. Does XAT give any weightage to GRAD Marks, institute of under grad during interview stage as my marks in x xII GRAD are 83,83 and 75 and i am btech from IIT also i have 2 years of work ex can you suggest me any tips to clear the interview stage inspite of my low GA.

    • Saurabh, while you will get interview calls from all XAT programs but for XLRI your low GK score will be an issue and you will need an excellent interview to make it to the final list. Start PDP classes immediately.

  363. According to CL Exam Corner, my XAT score is 24.5. Due to no preparation for XAT,I didnt register for XLRI but other than this from where can I expect a call? My G.K. section score is 8.5.

    And are there any other good colleges which take registrations even now in view of my performance?

    • A S, you should apply to TAPMI which is a good institute and a interview call is likely. You can also consider Great Lakes Chennai 1 year program. Most of the other good institutes have closed their application window.

  364. sir according to cl keys my scores are as follows
    VA 14.5
    DM 9.5
    QA 4.5
    OA 28.5
    i know with my QA score XLRI is ruled out…but is ximb hr possible? and also i read somewhere TAPMI prefers work ex people at the time of final conversion.so with my score is it possible to convert tapmi?..here is my profile details
    class X-90.6%
    XII-80.1%
    B.Tech(mechanical)-71%
    also,2013 pass out and NOT working 😐

    • Shivam, You are correct, XL is unlikely due to your QA score. XIMB HR is possible despite a 4.5 in QA. Calls are also possible from all other XAT institutes including TAPMI, GIM and IMTG.

  365. Hello Sir,
    I got 13.5 marks as per CL calculator.
    VA- 6
    DM- 8.75
    Unfortunately i got negative marks in QA section
    QA- -1.75
    I am having 2.5 years work experiance. Please suggest something
    Eagerly waiting for your repy

    • Mohit, unfortunately 13.75 will not get you calls from any decent institute. Suggest that your focus on MAT Feb for Mumbai university institutes through DTE.

  367. Sir,
    I am a CL Student. My score as per CL e-OMR:
    VA-10
    DM-10
    QA-8.5.

    GK-5.5
    Is there any chance of getting an XIMB-BM call at this score?

  369. Sir, My scores are
    VA – 13
    QA -12.75
    DM – 7
    OA – 32.75
    GK – 5.25
    What are my chances sir? I have applied only for XL BM.
    Also , I have a 221 in NMAT with all sectionals clear and an IIFT call. Should I be hopeful about XL BM with such DM score?
    Thanks sir.

    • Ankush, your DM score is on the edge for XLRI and we can only hope for the best.
      NM Mumbai is also on for you and with IIFT call at hand I hope you have started your PDP classes.

    • Deepak, apologise for the delay inresponding to your query.
      GMP is likely to have sectional cutoff around 5.5 – 6 marks and an overall cutoff around 24 marks.

  373. Hello Sir,

    My Scores are :
    VA – 11.5
    DM – 9.5
    QA – 5.75
    OA – 26.75
    GK – 4.25

    What are my chances for XL – HR , XIMB – MBA and HR , SP Jain ??
    Will the actual cutoffs dip a bit than what has been predicted by CL ??

    Also sir, I’m a bit curious of the varying answer keys provided by various coaching institutes ( see : CL, TIME , IMS , TestFunda ). Why is there ambiguity in the answer keys, leading to different scores of students?? And , if there has been difference, then, has CL been able to match XLRIs actual answer key in the previous editions of XAT ??
    This is my first attempt at MBA exams, so all this ambiguity is baffling for me.

    Thanks in advance for the clearing my doubts.

    • Ankit, your QA score is on the edge but you should be able to get calls from all XAT programs except XLRI BM and SP Jain.
      The difference in answer keys is usually due to English and DM questions which can be subjective.

  374. Sir,

    My scores acc to CL key is DM:12.0 VA:11.25 QA:7.5
    TOTAL 30.75 GK 5.75
    Should I expect a call from XLRI BM or HRM?..I have also applied for XIMB both through CAT and XAT.My expected percentile for CAT thorugh CL SIS is 94.88.I have 1.5 yrs of work exp.

    P.S:My essay was not that good.Grammatically correct but low in content and not precise.

    • Kanad, your BM call is a function of QA cutoff, your score is on the edge. HRM call is on, please start PDP classes immediately.
      Essay can be taken care of with a good interview performance.

  375. Hi GP Sir,

    I got a profile based call from SPJ. However, I gave XAT only this year; my scores are as follows :-

    VA – 11.75 QA – 8.75 DM – 4.25

    Just wanted to know if I would be able to cross the sectional cutoffs for SPJ. Please advise should i go for this call.

    • Raj, your DM score is on the edge, hopefully you will make it. DO go for this own to give spot offers. call as SPJain is also knAll the best.

  376. Sir,

    My scores are VA: 8.75, QA: 10.75, and DM: 10.75, OA: 30.25.

    What are my chances of getting a call from XLRI, IMT, GIM, and SPJain?

  377. Sir, my score:
    VA-8.5, DM-12.25, QA-4, GK-2
    Overall(excluding GK) – 24.75
    As per other Keys, overall(excluding GK) – 26
    What calls can I expect?
    For NO ANSWER question, will they give extra mark for who ever attempted that question?
    Does BIMTECH accepts XAT scores for Regular PGDM? They have mentioned it will take only CAT/GMAT

    • Bharath, you are right about BIMTECH, main program is through CAT.
      With a score of 24.75 you can expect calls from all institutes except XLRI. Please Check the CL Exam Corner in the evening for percentiles, the initial cutoff estimates are being lowered based on data submitted by all of you.

      • Sir, thanks for your reply. What about the qsn no.34 in SETA, which doesnt have any answer. Will they give additional mark for who ever attempted that qtn, as we have spent 2 mins on that qtn?

  378. SIR
    my xat score is 12…but in MAT i scored 94%…i completed my b.tech in 2013 with no job in hand…i know i am not eligible to top colleges..but could you plz suggest me some decent colz based on my MAT percentile..

    • Rakesh, based on you MAT score you can try for Amity NOIDA and ITM. I will also suggest that you retake MAT in Feb and try to increase your score which will allow you to target Mumbai University colleges through DTE.

  380. Sir
    I am getting 25.5 oa according to CL.
    QA 6.25
    DM 5.75
    VA 13.75

    Any chance for XLRI, XIMB, Great Lakes or IMT G?

    • ak123, XLRI is unlikely but the others are possible. Please Check the CL Exam Corner in the evening for percentiles, the initial cutoff estimates are being lowered based on data submitted by all of you.

  381. Hello Sir
    As per CL key my score is
    VA-15
    QA-9.25
    DM-8
    GK-1.75
    I am really worried if I can make it for XLRI BM. Please let me know what other top 10 collejes I can get a call from.

    Thanks
    Sangita

    • Sangita, you can get calls from all XAT institutes, your DM score is on the edge but you could make it to the interview shortlist of all programs. From XLRI perspective you have a very ow GK score which can be compensated only by a very good performance in the interview and hence should start PDP classes immediately. Please contact your CL center immediately.

  382. Sir,
    My expected score in XAT as per CL is:
    Verbal Ability: 8.75
    Decision Making: 11.25
    Quantative Ability: 11.5
    General Knowledge: 4.25

    I have only applied for XLRI BM and HRM. Can you please tell me what are my chances of getting a call for either of the profiles based on these scores. I also wanted to know how a low score in GK will affect the final conversion. I had read in some forums that candidates with very low GK scores got rejected last year irrespective of their XAT scores and interview rounds.

    Best Regards
    Anupam

    • Anupam, calls are possible from both the programs – BM and HR. While your VA score is on the edge for HR but I think you will make it to the shortlist. Your GK score is fine and should not be a big issue. The only way to cover up for GK now is to do well in the interview so start PDP classes immediately.

  383. Sir, my score as per CL e-OMR:
    VA-8, DM-5.5,QA-6.75.
    OA-20.25
    GK-3
    Is there any chance of getting a call from a good college? I’ve 1yr+ IT experience,10th-90.5%,+2 -81.4%,B.tech-8.17 CGPA,category-GEN.

    • Arijit, at a score of 20.25 you hava an outside chance in TAPMI and BIMTECH. Calls are likely from XISS, XIME, LIBA Welingkar.

  385. Hello Sir, I have few queries regarding MH-CET-
    1) Are candidates from other states allowed to write the exam ?
    2)If answer to the first question is yes then what should be the target score for JBIMS and Sydenham ?
    3) What study material should be referred ?

    • Shrish, CET is for Maharashtra students.
      Outside Maharashtra State (OMS) candidates can apply on the basis of CAT/XAT/CMAT/MAT/ATMA but my suggestion is to take MAT since it will ensure a higher percentile for the same effort.

  386. Dear GP Sir,

    My scores as per different keys are as follows:

    CL:
    OA=35.25 (VA=13.75, DM=12.75, QA=8.75)

    TF:
    OA=32.75 (VA=12.5, DM=11.5, QA=8.75)

    IMS:
    OA=32.75 (VA=13.75, DM=11.5, QA=7.5)

    TIME:
    Did not check. I don’t trust their keys as I found some obvious mistakes.

    What do you think are my chances in getting a call from XLRI BM & HRM? Will QA play the spoilsport (it’s marginally short as per IMS keys, and I hope the CL keys are correct!)? I have applied to XIMB and SP Jain as well. What are my chances of getting a call from SP Jain? I am not sure about their short-listing criteria, so please throw some light on this.

    My Acads are as follows:

    10th=83.25% (state board)
    12th= 83% (State board)
    B.E in Chem Engg=78.47% (Jadavpur University)
    Work Ex=4.5 years (Nalco Water – US based MNC, industrial water Treatment section).

    As I have 4.5 years’ experience, I believe this is my last train to fulltime 2 year MBA and I am not looking beyond colleges like XL, XIMB and SP Jain. I need your guidance & help.

    P.S.- I am CL test series student.

    • Saikat, XL HR, XIMB and SP Jain are on, start PDP classes immediately. Your QA score is on the edge but I think you will be able to get XL BM call also.
      SP Jain profile based calls are out hope you have received it, if not then the score based call should happen. With good academic record and over 4 year work experience I agree that you should not go below these institutes and if unfortunately you do not make it to these institutes then go for a 1 year MBA from ISB Hyd or top institute outside India.

      • Thank you, Sir. I’ll contact my center and start PDP classes ASAP. I have not been shortlisted by SP Jain for the profile based call. Keeping my fingers crossed for the score based call! When will CL release the XAT percentiles based on score and corresponding cut off percentiles?

  387. I’ve am getting a total of 24.75
    VA 3
    DM 10.25
    QA 11.5

    What will be my percentile?
    What colleges can I get a call from?

    • Ravish, Please check the CL Exam Corner in the evening for your percentile. Calls are possible from all XAT institutes that do not have sectional cutoffs.

  388. GP sir,

    I am getting 15-verbal, 12-DM and 11-quant. Hopefully I should get a call from XLRI but i am scoring a measly 3.5 in GK do you think i have a chance in the next step of XLRI? Please reply sir.

    • Siddharth, you will get calls from all XAT institutes. GK is an issue for XL BM/HR and you will need a very good performance in the interview to compensate for the low GK score. Start PDP immediately to ensure that you are well prepared for the interview. Please contact your CL center for details.

  389. Sir, According to CL calculator my scores are:
    VA:10.25
    DM:14.5
    QA:4.75

    Overall: 29.5
    My GK score is: 5.75

    Considering my low QA score, is there any chance in any college except XIM as I have not applied there. Also any chances for the QA cutoffs to be a bit lower?

    • Suyog, your QA score is an issue and would be the reason for missing out on XIMB/XLRI calls. Calls are possible from all XAT programs that do not have sectional cutoffs.

  391. Sir, My score in Xat is
    QA 10
    DM 8.25
    VA 10.25
    GK 1.75
    Calls from which colleges i can expect?
    Also a lot of my friends received a mail from XLRI informing they have found all documents except confirmation page and advising to send it..I mailed them that i do have sent the confirmation page..called them too but nobody answered. A lot of my friends ignored it like me. Should I send it now the confirmtion page again??

    • Lokesh, send them the confirmation page again.
      You will receive calls from all XAT institutes but for XLRI your low GK score is an issue and only a very good interview can compensate for it. Please start PDP immediately to ensure you are well prepared. Please contact your CL center for details.

  392. Sir I have got 13.75 overall score according to the CL score card, what percentile i can expect and which colleges should i apply for

  393. Hello Sir,

    Firstly thanks for all the help on the blog sir,
    I have given my XAT and i have goene through various keys and have a range of marks varying with each key.The CL key says

    VA – 7.5
    DM – 18.5
    QA – 8.5

    OA – 34.5

    Do i stand a chance for a call from XLRI given my sectionals?
    Other keys have my score in VA going up by 1-2 marks. Please suggest.

    Thanks in advance sir!

    • Akhil, calls are possible from all XAT institutes except XL HR. The cutoffs could be slightly lower than what we have put up so QA should not be a problem. Start PDP classes immediately. We wil be releasing the percentiles also in the evening in CL Exam Corner.

  394. Sir,
    I have got overall 21.75, What are my chances? I have filled only XLRI and XIMB forms till now, which other college should I apply?
    Thanks in advance

  395. Sir,
    My scores are VA-13, DM-10.25 and QA-11.
    Work ex= 30 months (Manufacturing MNC)
    GK unfortunately stands at 3.75.
    What would be the chances for conversion?
    Regards.

    • Tirtha, you will get all interview calls but for XLRI you will need a very good interview as your GK score is low. Start PDP classes immediately.

  396. Hello Sir,
    I am getting following scores as per CL:
    VA: 12.75
    DM: 11.5
    QA: 6.75
    Overall:31
    GK: 2.25

    I realise that XLRI(BM) is unlikely at this low Quant score. But is there any hope for XLRI-HRM or SP-Jain? I haven’t yet applied for TAPMI. Shall I do so?

    Regards,

    • Ashima, XLRI HRM and SP Jain are on for you but due to your low GK score a very good interview performance is required for XL HRM conversion. Please start PDP classes imediately. You should apply to TAPMI also as a back up.

  397. Sir
    I got 23.5 in XAT.So i’m expecting LIBA.
    In CAT CL predicted 91.2%.Likely to get call from FMS BHU.
    In SNAP 28.53.Likely to get call from SIIB and SIMS(defence qouta). Who would be best among these,how would you rank?
    Category:General

  398. Hello Sir.
    According to CL’s answer key, my scores are as follows:
    VA – 11.25
    DM – 12.25
    QA – 7.5
    Overall – 31
    GK – 2.5
    I’m afraid Sir my GK score is very low. But before that, more importantly, is my score sufficient for XLRI? I’m more interested in XLRI-BM but it seems to be out of bounds for me. What do you say Sir?

    • Venkat, your QA score is sufficient for HR but could be less for BM. The GK sore is low and can bve compensated only by a very good interview performance. XIMB and all other XAT institutes however are on for you.

  399. Sir as per CL Calculator :
    VA- 8.25 , DM-17.25 , QA-5.75 , OA- 31.25

    Sir what chances do I have for XLRI-BM or HRM?
    Also , is there any possibility of SPJAIN or XIM-B (considering QA cut-offs)?

    • Abhay, XIMB and SP Jain should be possible but you could miss out on XL HR due to low VA score and on BM due to low QA score.

      • Sir,

        XAT Score :
        OA – 97.62
        DM – 99.87
        QA- 86.21
        VA- 68.12

        CAT Score:
        OA-94.71
        QA-89.20
        VA-95.02

        Any chances sir….I have filled most of the colleges, with XAT and CAT score under top 20 colleges.except GIM…
        What chances do I have sir,
        even from XIM-B ..?
        Also,
        if u can suggest any colleges..

        • Abhay, you might just miss the VA cutoff for XIMB. It’s good that you have applied to many colleges. Wait for the official cut-offs. Prepare well and try to convert as many calls as you can.

  400. gp sir,
    my profile is as follows-
    10th 87.6%
    12th 72.8%
    BBA (IP university) 75.6%
    sir i gave cat in 2012 and got 75 percentile..without any preparation at all…
    so i thought of dropping this year and giving cat another shot.
    i prepared well for around 6-7 months and appeared for CAT, IIFT, NMAT, SNAP and XAT.
    unfortunately i don’t have hope of clearing any entrance exam..i really don’t know what went wrong..
    kindly suggest me what to do now?? are there any decent MBA institutes under IP?? what is the average package after MBA from IP?
    pls suggest me all the possible options available now..except job. i want to do MBA first.
    sir also throw some light on bimtech noida.
    its cat cutoff(overall and sectional), last date to apply, average placement, etc.
    a prompt reply would be appreciated.

  401. Sir, my score as per CL XAT Score calculator
    VA-13.25, DM-9.75,QA-3.5.
    OA-26.5
    GK-2
    What are my chances of selection in XLRI and XIMB programmes?. I am from Odisha domicile.

    • Sambit, your QA score of 3.5 is likely to be below the sectional cutoff and hence calls from X and XIMB are unlikely.

  403. Sir, my scores are:
    VA-11.25
    DM-14.75
    QA-6.75
    OA-32;75

    GK-1.25

    Will I get calls from XLRI-HR and S P Jain? If yes, can GK act as a game spoiler during GD?
    ps: which colleges I should I apply to as backups (whose application dates are still open) in case I dont get selected in XLRI.?

    • Farhan, you should get calls from SP Jain and XL HR. While GK is not an issue for SP Jain, it can become a problem for XL HR. You will need a very good performance in the interview to compensate for the low GK score. Start PDP immediately to ensure that you are well prepared for the interview. Please contact your CL center for details.
      As a backup you can apply to TAPMI and MICA. Hope you have applied to XIMB.

  404. Sir,
    VA- 14.25/28:D
    DM- 12/24 🙂
    Quant- 1/31 ;(
    Overall 27/83 😐
    I am a final year under graduate student from DU. I gave XAT for experience and didn’t studied at all (as you can see from my Quant Marks) but I tried to apply myself in VA & DA as they were based more on general understanding & I got good results from that. i didn’t knew anything in quantitative ability as I haven’t studied at all for these papers & literally took the paper very lightly as a joke.i was so not serious about this paper to an extent that I even didnt registered myself for any college like XIM, XLRI, SP. Now i came to know that i am meeting the required criteria which is very surprising for Me. now i am thinking of what should i do because after not studying at All i am at least fulfilling the minimum cutoff i am just wondering what would have happened if i had Studied properly. Please guide. What should I do & What are the options available to me as I haven’t registered myself to any college….

    • Abhishek, This is a very good performance without any preparation unfortunately the only good institutes that are available now are TAPMI and MICA. It would be useful for you to prepare for CAT’14/XAT’15 as clearing the cutoff in QA could have got you a XLRI interview call.

  405. VA – 10.25
    DM – 4.75
    QA – 5.5
    Overall – 20.5
    GK – 5.25
    Sir, what are the best institutes that I should apply for?

  406. Sir, really appreciate you answering each and everyone’s queries patiently. Also the amount of optimism you put in your answers is amazing. I have applied for XLRI-BM and SP JAIN. My scores are:
    VA: 14.25
    DM: 14.5
    QA: 6.25
    GK: 1
    Please let me know if I can expect a call from both! Also, does the selection process at SP Jain include GD or only interview?

    • Vignesh, unfortunately due to your low QA score XL BM may not happen but HR should be possible but due to your low GK score a very good performance is required in the interview. SP Jain call is on and you should start PDP immediately, it has a group interview which includes a GD also. Occassionally it hyas has personal interview after the group interview.

    • Arpan, IMT G does not have sectional cutoffs. The overall cutoff could be around 25 marks.
      Please Check the CL Exam Corner in the evening for percentiles, the initial cutoff estimates are being lowered based on data submitted by all of you.

  409. GP Sir,
    XAT scores as per CL examcorner:
    Overall : 41
    QA: 11.5
    DM: 12.25
    VA: 17.25
    GK: 5.25

    SNAP Score as per CL:130
    NMAT score: 230

    Your opinions sir! 🙂

  410. A very Happy New Year to you, sir.

    Firstly, thank you for your “XAT is the way”. The strategies mentioned definitely helped me yesterday. According to CL, my minimum tentative score is 34.5 (I’m not sure about two questions in QA. One, I might have left. The other, I might have done right. To be fair, I’m considering both of them to be incorrect.), and the maximum is 36.

    My VA is 16.75, DM is 11.5 and QA is 6.25 (or 7.75, if I’ve done one correctly and left the other one).
    Unfortunately, my GK score is only 2.5.

    I’ve applied to XLRI PGD-HRM. Is there a chance of getting an interview call from XLRI and calls from XIMB and IMT? Also, how good is XIMB for HR? I’m not in the classroom program, so can I enroll myself in PDP in the coming week? I’m an ex-CL student.

    • Anudrutta, we have already discussed part of this quesry over the email.
      You should get a call from XIMB and HR is a good program.
      Please contact CL Kolkata for the PDP classes, you will be eligible for ex CL student fee waiver.

  411. Sir , at what percentile could one expect a 90 percentile in xat this year? getting a score of 25.5 , qa – 12, va -8 , dm – 5.5

  412. Sir, my name is Mrinal. I am a student of CL SDA center.

    I want to go the PDP sessions but I have no idea where/when they are being held. When I ask at the centre they say it will appear in SIS, but no details appear. Please help.

    Enrollment ID : 9733679

    • Mrinal, PDP classes are on at the SDA center, they tried contacting but were unable. Hope the issue has been resolved.

  414. Hi Sir,

    My XAT marks according to the CL calculator are
    Verbal-15,
    DM-11
    Quant-5.75
    OA-31.75
    With Quant being the dampener , are there any chances of cut offs for Quant coming down for Sp Jain or XIMB, if not XL.
    Also what other colleges do you suggest (Apart from the ones given in the table) that I should apply for through XAT.

    Thanks 🙂

    • Tanya, yes QA is an issue but you can still get a calls from all programs except XL BM. QA cutoff could less by 0.5 marks. Given your score you should not go below the institutes mentioned in the table.

    • Sherry, your DM is on the edge, hopefully the cutoff will be lower than our estimate. If you clear this section then all calls are likely.

  417. Sir I am getting
    OA : 40.5
    QA 12.25
    VA 13.25
    DM 15
    GK 3.25
    scores as per CL

    Although I am getting different scores as per different instis
    TIME/TF : 36.75
    amd IMS gives me 41

    Sir I am worried about my GK scores and also
    will this score be enough to convert if one has a poor academic profile?
    I have only applied to XLRI

    • Rohan, irrespective of which answer key you go by you will get XLRI call so stat PDP immediately to ensure that you are well prepared for the interview. Your low GK score can only be compensated by a good performance in the interview. Please contact your CL center for the schedule and other details.

  418. Dear Sir,

    could you please let me know how good Azim Premji University is i am looking for MA program in development studies.

    Thank you,
    Sudarshan

    • Dear Sudarshan,

      If you are looking for that programme and are willing to spend the amount, then you can look forward to it.

  419. Sir,
    My scores are
    QA – 8.25
    VA – 10.25
    DM -9.25
    Overall – 27.75
    But my GK score is only 2.25. Do I have any chance of getting a call from XL or XIM?

    • Preeti, XIMB does not consider GK scores so it will not be a problem.
      XLRI considers GK scores only at the time of interview and not for sending interview calls, hence you can get a call but will need a very good interview to compensate for the low GK score. My suggestion is to start PDP immediately to ensure that you are well prepared for the interview. Please contact your CL center for details.

  420. Sir
    following are my queries
    1.expecting a score of 20.5 excluding gk in xat, can i expect call from liba??
    2. Will liba consider gk n essay??
    3.which other colleges do i have a chance in?

  421. Scores as follows:
    VA- 9.5
    QA- 11
    DM- 9.75
    Total- 30.25
    GK-4

    What are my chances ?
    VA seemed easier , hence a low score is bothering me.

    • Gaurav, calls are possible from all XAT institutes. Start PDP immediately to ensure that you are well prepared for the interviews.

  422. SIR,
    I AM GETTING AN OVER-ALL SCORE OF 23 (AS PER CL KEY FOR XAT 2014), WHICH B-SCHOOL CALLS UNDER XAT CAN I EXPECT SO AS TO FILL THEIR FORM AS I HAVN’T FILLED ANY OF THE COLLEGES FORM YET?

    • Sunil, at a score of 23 you can try for BIMTECH, Welingkar, XISS, LIBA and XIME. You can also consider applying to TAPMI.

      • SIR,
        THANK YOU SIR, ANOTHER QUERY FOLLOWS THAT ACCORDING TO BIMTECH WEBSITE,ITS CORE PGM. ie. PGDM TAKES STUDENT INTAKE ON BASIS OF GMAT & CAT BUT NOT XAT BUT SPECIALIZATION pgm. ie. PGDM(in IBM,RM,SDP) CAN BE FILLED THROUGH XAT ALSO,SO ON BASIS OF MY XAT SCORE DOES IT WORTH TO PREFER THESE RATHER THAN PREFERRING MBAPGDM pgm. IN TAPMI,WE SCHOOL,LIBA,XIME,XISS ?

        • Sunil, the sectoral MBA programs of BIMTECH can be considered as backup options only.
          TAPMI is way above the others followed by Welingkar and BIMTECH.

  423. Hi Sir,
    Score of 20.75 Excluding GK –
    Including GK, my overall score will become 20 .. 🙁
    Wrote a more than decent Essay.
    Want to Apply to Great Lakes 1 year course (2.5 Yrs exp in IT field). Do I stand a chance? Will I get a call? Is it worth applying? Plss suggest!
    Thanks!

    • Sankar, at 20.75 GL Chennai 1 year program is difficult but you should apply as your work experience could get you a call.

  424. Sir my score as per the the CL e-omr is 20.75:
    VA-8.25
    DM-10.50
    QA-2
    GK-6

    Which Colleges should i apply to?

  425. Sir, My score according to CL Answer key is :
    VA- 12.5
    DM- 8.5
    QA- 1.75
    OA- 22.75
    Iam a General Category Candidate, pls. tell me which colleges should i apply for ??

  426. Sir,

    if one is expecting a profile based call from spjain, the website is saying that sectional 70 and overall 85 will be the cutoff.. dont u think the cutoffs posted for the spjain college in this page are on the higher side?? if yes can u kindly give the individual cutoffs for 70 percentile and overall 85..

  427. Sir, I am getting the following scores according to the CL score calculator: VA: 12, DM: 9.75, QA: 9.25 and GK 6.25…. But I messed up my Essay section as in I was not able to complete the essay…. What should be my chances?

    • Mani, you will get a call from XL institutes since Essay is considered only at the time of the interview. The incomplete essay can be taken care of with a good interview. Start PDP immediately to ensure that you are well prepared for the interview. Please contact your CL center for details.

  428. Sir i calculated my score to be 20.75(excluding GK).
    VA-8.25
    QA-2
    DM-10.50
    GK-5

    Which Colleges should i apply to?

  429. Sir, my Xat score(acc to CL ans key) is:
    VA 9.75
    DM 13.25
    QA 3.75
    Over all 26.75 but with a GK score of 1.5.
    From which colleges can I expect a call?

    • Shelly, a QA score of 3.75 is likely to be low the sectional cutoff for XLRI, SP Jain and XIMB hence these are unlikely for you. However give your total score of 26.75 calls are possible from TAPMI, IMT G and GIM.

  430. I am getting overall 35 with DM 8-8.5. Are there any chances of DM cutoffs coming down from 9? In your opinion, was DM tougher than the previous years’?

    • Kraken, these are the initial estimates of cutoff and the actual cutoffs could be slightly lower so you can be hopeful of a call. We will be coming out with percentiles and the percentile based cutoffs by tomorrow.
      XAT’14 DM section was easier then XAT’13.

  431. sir,
    i got a total of 17.75
    4.75 in VA
    6.25 in D.M
    4.75 in quants
    and 2 in gk

    can you please tell me what are my chances in such a score.

  432. GP Sir,

    For Question No. 37 of set C none of the questions is the answer. I thought I made a mistake and wasted a lot of time on this question; and finally left it. I thought there was something wrong with my method, and as Q. 39 was also similar to 37, I left that too.
    Basically I lost 2 vital marks and a lot of time. Now I am missing the DM cutoff by just 1.5 marks. I would have cleared the cutoff if there was no error in Q. 37. This is not fair. Where should I raise this issue so that XLRI people are aware of this?
    It is very furstrating to miss out on a very important call because of someone else’s fault.

  433. Hi GP Sir,

    My scores as per CL are-
    VA-9
    DM-9.5
    QA- 7.75

    So, an overall score of 26.25. I underestimated myself and didn’t fill XLRI or XIMB, but now I realise my mistake. Nothing can be done now 🙁
    I have filled GIM and IMTG. Can I stand a decent chance from them? I have 18 months work-ex with me.
    How is ROI from both the colleges? Are they safe investment?
    Also,should I fill TAPMI,LIBA and BIMTECH as backups?

    • Rohit, GIM, IMTG and TAPMI are all possible for you. All of them will provide good placement and justify the high fee. In IMTG, given the huge batch size one needs to be inn the top 50% of the batch to get a good placement. LIBA and BIMTECH are not recommended if you have decent work experience.

  434. Sir in one question of the paper, in a hurry,I accidentally marked an answer which was supposed to be for the next question. Since we had to do marking with pen it was not possible to change the answer or erase it, so I marked another circle option in that same question so as to avoid getting negative in that question. So will marking two answers for the same question nullify my score in that question or will it lead to negative marks?

  435. Sir, I had given the XAT 2014 exam and am likely to get around 10-12.5 marks. Is there any possibility that i can get an admission in any colleges? What will be my percentile? Thank you

  436. GP sir i got 19.3 but i think it will increase coz i forget some question….so what should i do ryt know??? should i apply other snap college which has last date 9 jan

  437. Sir, I am getting 33.75 Marks according to CL Key.
    11.75 in VA
    13.25 in DM
    8.75 in QA

    I am clearing the cut off’s according to CL XAT Predictor but i am in a predicament cause of my GK marks, I am only getting 3.5 marks in GK and expected cut off’s are 4 in CL predictor.

    Would it detriment my chances for Getting XLRI or XIMB?

    • Himanshu, 33.75 is a very good score but 3.5 in GK is a dampener. Calls are likely from all XAT institutes.
      XIMB does not consider GK scores and hence it is not a problem.
      There was not hard cutoff for GK last year and the only way to cover up for the low GK score is to do exceptionally well in the interview. You should immediately start your PDP classes. Please contact your center for the details. Also do refer to my blogpost 5 Mantras to master the Interview for interview preparation.

    • Mansi, XAT institutes do not have reservations and at 22.7 you will get calls from BIMTECH, XIME, XISS and LIBA. You are likely to get better institutes through CAT and SNAP. What are your expected CAT and SNAP scores?

  439. Sir,
    These are my scores according to CL
    QA=8.5 VA=12.75 DI=6.5
    I guess i would’nt get a call for HR or BM from XLRI.
    What do you suggest.
    Thank you.

  440. GP Sir,
    As per CL I am getting-
    VA-10.5
    DM-12
    But in QA I don’t remember exactly one of the answers that I marked.So I am counting that as negative and estimating my QA score to be minimum around 5.25.
    Also,I am sure of clearing the cut off for TISS .
    So,what should I do?And,what are the options for me through XAT?

    • Javed, at 5.25 in QA XL calls are ruled out but if it is 6.5 in QA then HRM is possible. Also XIMB calls are likely at this score. Since you are sure of clearing the TISS cutoff, XIMB should be considered a backup option. You should start PDP classes immediately, please contact your CL center for the details.

      • Thank you Sir for the reply.But as XLRI has increased the number of seats by 60 in HRM would not that make any difference?I believe 60 seats whould add another 600 shortlists.Correct me if I am wrong.
        And cut off for XL HRM QA is always on the lower side .Last year it was 54 percentile for HRM.
        And Sir,What about IMT-G?

        • Javed, what you are saying is possible but in an initial estimate I normally play safe. By tomorrow we will be releasing the percentiles and the percentile based cutoffs which will then be converted to scores. This could convert to a lower cutoff but I will hold on for a day before confirming.
          IMT G does not have sectional cutoffs, its cutoff this year could go down to 90%ile

  441. Sir
    i know my query is irrelevant here,but i would be thankful if you address my query.
    sir,my query is regarding cet. I have sent u a mail on ur id at gp@careerlauncher.com.. Would u pls address my query as soon as possible as i am,literally tensed..

  442. Hi Sir,

    My Score is 25.25 according to the CL Score card, VA – 12.25
    DM- 6.25
    QA – 6.75
    Category- OBC-NC

    What should be my course of action?
    Regards,
    Karuna

    • Karuna, XAT institutes do not have any reservation. Calls are possible for you from IMTG, TAPMI, GIM and BIMTECH. Possibly you will get better institutes through CAT in the institutes that have reservations. What is your expected CAT score?

  443. SIR , i am getting 26.75 OA without gk but 1 marks in QA .
    but as per Time i am getting 21 and a -0.25 in QA .
    What should be my course of action ?

    Which colleges consider only overall and also worst case scenario , does such lowly score in QA would mean a NO-Call ?

    • Rahul, I will obviously go by the CL answer key. You should get calls from IMTG, TAPMI, GIM. The top ones are ruled out as you will be below their sectional cutoff in QA.

  444. Sir, my score as per CL e-OMR:
    VA-7.75, DM-5.5,QA-8.25.
    OA-21.5

    Which college should i consider??

  445. Sir,
    My score card says, QA – 10.25, DM – 9.5, Verbal – 7.75. Total 27.5. Do you think i have a chance for XLRI BM?
    Thank you in advance.

    Regards,

  446. Sir, my score as per CL e-OMR:
    VA-11.25, DM-6.5,QA-12.25
    OA-30
    GK-2.75
    Is there any chance of getting an XLRI-BM call at this score?
    Will low DM score be a problem?

    • Monu, 30 is a good score but 2.75 in GK is a dampener. Your DM score of 6.5 could also be a problem. Calls are however likely for all non XLRI institutes.
      There was not hard cutoff for GK last year and the only way to cover up for the low GK score is to do exceptionally well in the interview and you should immediately start your PDP classes. Please contact your center for the details. Also do refer to my blogpost 5 Mantras to master the Interview for interview preparation.

  447. Hi Sir,

    My Score is 32 according to the CL Score card, however i have just 3 marks in QADI section.
    Category- SC

    What should be my course of action?
    Regards,
    Vinod.

    • Vinod, with 3 marks in QA you are restricted to IMTG, TAPMI, GIM and lower institutes. What are your expected CAT and SNAP scores?

      • sir,

        CAT percentile 1: 91
        CAT percentile 2: 86
        I gave TISSNET, didn’t give SNAP.
        B.tech- 80.1%
        12th- 67%
        10th- 77%
        Category- SC

        • Sir,
          Isn’t there any provision for Schedule Caste Candidates in XAT.
          I have also applied to XIMB but through CAT.
          Other applications include: FMS, IMTG, SPJain, NMIMS.

          • Vinod, these is no reservation in XAT institutes and you will be treated as a general category candidate.

        • Vinod, you are likely to get calls from all IIMs, IITs, FMS and all other institutes that have reservations. Please start PDP classes immediately so that you are well prepared for the interviews. Please contact your CL center for the schedule and other details and do refer to the blogpost 5 Mantras to master the Interview

  448. sir my score is around 13 in cl score calculator….wat is expected percentile.and wat collg i can try for?
    thank you

  451. Sir,
    My OA score is 24.5(VA-10.75,DM-8.5,QA-5.25)
    What are my expected colleges.
    Also can you provide the cutoffs for XIME and LIBA)

    • Narendra, you have an outside chance from TAPMI, IMTG and GIM. You should get calls from BIMTECH, XISS, XIME, and LIBA.

  453. Sir,

    After reading your analysis, one can visibly make out that XAT 2014 was comparatively tougher than XAT 2013.
    So, shouldn’t the cutoffs dip a bit this year ??

    PS : I’ve got 26.75 oa

    • Ankit, this was a more difficult paper as compared to last year but getting a score of 25-35 was not difficult. Going beyond 35 was more difficult in XAT’14 as compared to XAT’13. This was a difficult paper but not a good paper as it will not be able to do a good job of differentiating the good students. A couple of questions can change the percentiles significantly.

  454. Sir,
    DM- 12-13 marks
    QA – 6 marks
    VA – 1 mark
    OA -19-20 marks
    How much percentile would this score fetch approximately? What all decent colleges should i apply or will make a call at this score?
    Thankyou

    • Prateek, please wait till Wednesday for the percentiles. At a score of 20 marks you can expect calls from XISS, XIME, LIBA etc.

  455. sir i m getting 15 marks overall, Is der any chance of ximb-rm ? I m also orissa domicile. Should i drop and try next year ?

  456. Sir,
    I get an overall score of 34, clearing individual sectional cut-offs.. But in GK, I managed to attempt only 6 questions and the sectional score is around 2..
    Can you please advise how much importance is associated with GK score and if there is any hard cut-off mark for admission into XLRI-BM?

    Thanks in advance
    Hari

    • Hari, 34 is a very good score but 2 in GK is a dampener. Calls are however likely for all XAT institutes.
      There was not hard cutoff for GK last year and the only way to cover up for the low GK score is to do exceptionally well in the interview and you should immediately start your PDP classes. Please contact your center for the details. Also do refer to my blogpost 5 Mantras to master the Interview for interview preparation.

    • Intakhab, The cutoffs for Global Management Program program are 60%ile in VA & DM and 70%ile in QA and Overall or 5.5-6 marks in each section and an overall score of around 24 marks.

      • Sir, I am getting va-3.75, qa – 6, dm -8.5 and gk – 6.5. What are the chances of getting XLRI PGDM(GM) program ? I only applied in this course.
        I have a good profile, will they consider profile in selecting for interview ?

        • Ankit, For the Global Management program the sectional cutoff is likely to be around 5 marks but they will most probably consider profile also while giving interview calls so you have a chance.

    • aj, XLRI BM or HRM are not possible at 22.5 score but Global Management is possible.
      The cutoffs for this program are 60%ile in VA & DM and 70%ile in QA and Overall or 6-7 marks in each section and an overall score of around 17-18 marks

  459. sir i got
    VA : 10.75
    DM : 7.25
    QA: 7.25
    OA : 25.25 IN XAT 2014
    category : NC OBC
    Graduation(B.Tech) 83%
    what cud be my percentile??
    do i stand a chance for getting xlri bm/hrm calls??

    • Sathish, XAT institutes do not have any reservations so at 18.5 you can only consider XISS, xIME, LIBA etc. You are likely to get better institutes through CAT/SNAP scores.

  461. Sir,
    I am getting the following marks according to CL Exam Zone
    Verbal Ability -10.5
    Decision Making-17
    Quantitative Ability-13.25
    GK-1.75
    So,my overall is 40.75 which is very good but my GK went horrible. Is there any chance in XLRI , as that is the only institute I have applied for. Also,what can i do for XLRI now if there is a chance?

  462. Sir, according to the CL predictor my scores in various sections is
    Verbal Ability 17.0
    Decision Making 11.25
    Quantitative Ability 5.5
    General Knowledge -1.75
    Total: 33.75 (without GK)
    Though I clear the sectionals for the colleges, I am apprehensive about getting the call (from XLRI) and converting it due to my negative Gk score. Is there a chance to get a call from XLRI?

    Regards Tejesvi

    • Tejesvi, 5.5 in QA is unlikely to get a XLRI BM call. Calls from all other institutes are likely as only XLRI uses the GK score. You should Start PDP classes at your center immediately so that you are well prepared. Contact your CL center for the details.

  463. Sir I am getting overall score 36.5.
    QA-13.5,VA-16.5,DM-6.5.
    Will I get a call from XLR-BM since I am clearing the overall cut-off successfully? Will the DM section be a problem? Sir, it is really tough to make decisions this way as this is a totally new thing. Got 9 wrong in this section and totally took me down.

    • Ajay, last year the DM cutoff was 6.25 marks and hopefully we have overestimated the DM cutoff.Hopefully you will make it to the BM shortlist. Let us hope for the best.
      We will be coming out with the percentiles and the percentile based cutoffs by Wednesday.

  464. Sir,
    I am getting an overall score of 28.25 according to CL.
    7 marks in Verbal let me down.Any chance of XLRI call?

    • Sumpunn, These are initially estimates and the cutoffs could be slightly lower than what we have estimated. Let us hope for the best.
      We will be coming out with the percentiles and the percentile based cutoffs by Wednesday.

  466. Dear GP Sir

    I’m getting the following break-up:
    VA – 9.75
    DM – 10.5
    QA – 11.25
    GK – 2.25

    Please guide me what should I start doing now… Also is my GK score competitive enough to ge through the interview?

    Waiting for your reply..

    Regards
    Yasir

    • Yasir, Congratulations, calls from all XAT institutes are possible for you. Your GK score is low but a good performance in the interview should help you overcome this handicap.
      Start PDP classes at your center immediately so that you are well prepared. Contact your CL center for thedetails.

  467. Sir I am getting these marks :-
    VA-15.75/28
    DM-11.75/23
    QA-5.5/30
    OA-30

    Is there any chance for XLRI (BM or HRM) ?
    Which other colleges should I apply ?
    Thank you sir

    • Soham, 5.5 in QA is unlikely for BM but for HRM is possible, hopefully you will be able to make it to HRM. These are initially estimates and the cutoffs could be slightly lower than what we have estimated. Let us hope for the best. We will be coming out with the percentiles and the percentile based cutoffs by Wednesday.
      All other XAT colleges are possible for you.

  468. Hi Sir

    As per various keys, my score is hovering between 21 and 24. I have 30 months of work experience as on today and I’m eager to join a good college this year itself. Please suggest some colleges as per my predicted score.

    Thanks in advance
    Prateek

    • Prateek, based on your experience and scores you can try for IMTG, TAPMI and GIM. You can also apply to BIMTECH as a back up.

      • Hi Sir

        I just realised GIM application for this session are closed. The last date was 31st december apparently. Is XIME and IFMR also possible?

          • Hi Sir

            One more question. I am securing just a single mark in QA section and 13-14 in DM and 8-9 in VA. Is “QA” going to be a major concern for rejection in any of the above mentioned colleges?

  469. Sir, I’m getting total 32 but only 7.5 marks in VA.

    Will I be getting calls from XLRI and SP JAIN ??

    Please guide me…………

    • Shashank, I will not rule you out, these are initially estimates and the cutoffs could be slightly lower than what we have estimated. Let us hope for the best.
      We will be coming out with the percentiles and the percentile based cutoffs by Wednesday.

    • Abhishek, unfortunately at 11 marks no decent colleges are possible. Suggest that you shift your focus to Feb CMAT and MAT.

      • sir actually m also scoring arnd it…..so please help me that around 11 marks which collage we can apply….plzzzz name some of them

  471. Sir I’m getting a score of 25.5 as per cl’s score calculator. Could you suggest me a few colleges I should apply to in which I stand a chance. Sectional score is v low in verbal 3/14.75/7.75

    • Rajat, You can consider applying to IMT G and TAPMI, there is an outside chance. BIMTECH, XIME, XISS, LIBA etc are all possible at this score.
      Please refer the the expected cutoffs above for the colleges that you can expect calls from.
      We will be coming out with the percentiles and the percentile based cutoffs by Wednesday.

    • Ali, please refer the the expected cutoffs above for the colleges that you can expect calls from.
      Hope you have filled the eOMR, we will be coming out with the percentiles and the percentile based cutoffs by Wednesday.

  474. hello sir,

    First of all thanks for the update.

    I am getting 22 score. i have only filled only GIM.
    Category: KM

    Sir please let me know my chances for the same or for any other decent college that i can fill.

    Best Regards

      • Pranav, GIM should be possible for you. The cutoff for the KM category will be about 3 marks lower than that for others in the colleges that have KM quota.

        • Sir but there was no option for KM category when i filled the GIM Goa form.What is your take on this?

          Also, Plz advise whether i should fill IMT-G with this score or any other decent college.

          Eagery awaiting your revert.

          Best Regards.

          • Pranav, not all colleges have KM quota. TAPMI and IMT G should be possible at 24.75 also. We will be coming out with percentiles by tomorrow.

  475. Sir, my score as per CL e-OMR:
    VA-12, LR-9.75,QA-8.5.
    OA-30.25
    GK-6
    Is there any chance of getting an XLRI-BM call at this score? Could low QA score be a problem? And could such a low GK score be also a barrier?

    • Sourabh, you should be able to get calls from all XAT institutes and programs. Your QA score is on the edge for XLRI BM but these are initial estimates and the actual cutoff could be lower.
      We will be coming out with the percentiles and the percentile based cutoffs by Wednesday.
      Start PDP classes at your center immediately so that you are well prepared. Contact your CL center for thedetails.

      • Thanks you sir. Hope QA cut-off is merciful this time. Also one question in GK section has been corrected by CL (the one on goods and services tax) and my GK score has now become 7.5. Is this a really good score sir? Will it work in my favor in the second stage if I get call?

        • Sourabh, 7.5 in GK is a very good score. Check the CL Exam Corner in the evening for percentiles, the initial cutoff estimates are being lowered based on data submitted by all of you.

          • Sir it is coming as 97.75 percentile! I am really surprised. Previous estimates from various sources were showing it as close to 92 percentile. So this means this year the paper was really tougher?

          • Sourabh, yes the paper was tougher and we have revised the cutoffs also based on the data submitted by all of you. Start PDP classes immediately.
