For XLRI, you have to appear for XAT. You need to score 96 percentile and above to get a call for BM and 94 percentile and above for HRM. Besides you also need to clear sectional cut-offs.

IIMs take admission through CAT. I am assuming you are from general category. Based on your overall academic profile, you will need to score atleast 99.4 percentile to get a call for the next round.

Work ex is not mandatory.

All the best!

Dear Student,

There is no requirement of having a job experience for appearing in CAT. The only eligibility for taking the exam is having a bachelor's degree with a minimum of 50%. However, you can also get yourself a job and still appear in CAT. It completely depends upon your choice and interest.

Hope it helps.

Good Luck.

My main motive was to ask whether my job exp. Would be counted in interview or not?

Look, having a job experience is great and highly beneficial. But it is not compulsory, your percentile matters more. However, having a job experience will help you in understanding the practicality of course.
