rizwanur rahman

Hi, I have calculated my scores and it comes out around 29-30 overall. 10+ in VA, 12+ in DM and 6.5-7 in QA. I have 10-11 in GK. Do i have any chance of getting a call from XLRI ? I want a BM call.

Probably NOT unless you have a reservation. But you would be very close to percentile required. Keep your fingers crossed!

yes, it is the border line percentile (for call) as per our analysis.

in the range of 29.75 - 34 according to different keys.. might be the borderline case.. so m nervous

Well, i am far below your score. So hoping you definitely get a call :)

We have made some small changes in the cutoffs and the same will be put up by InsideIIM too. Having said that, this years XAT paper is definitely difficulty than the last years one. The Verbal Section was a nightmare for a lot of them and so was the DM and Quant section. It appeared deceptively easy. Lastly, you may check the Answer Keys of all the institutes and between the institutes there are at least a difference of 10 t0 15 keys in Verbal and DM. Clearly shows that the paper was NOT at all easy.

Hello Sir, this is my second attempt. Sadly I was did much better in all exams last year. I'm scoring 23 in xat. Last year 24 marks fetched me 93 percentile. With 23 this year can I at least expect a call from tapmi?
