Dear Aspirant,
You can apply for XIMB and XLRI for MBA. However, both of these colleges do not accept MAT scores. XIMB accepts CAT, XAT, NMAT and X-GMT scores. XLRI accepts only XAT scores. So you have to give these exams and clear their cutoffs to get into these two B-Schools.
TANVEE PAREEK 08 July,2022
Hi Aspirant,
Hope you are doing great as per the question asked by you,as there is no official dates regarding second waitlist movements as if there are any seats left or vacant then next waitlist comes. It totally depends upon number of seats or filled or vacant during the process. You are advised to wait patiently for the next cutoffs.
Hope you found this answer useful. Stay motivated stay positive.
All the best!
