Hello Sachin,

If a notification shows 01 post under EWS category and simultaneously 01 post under PWD (Person with Disabilities) for the same position, it typically means that the single available post falls under both the EWS and PWD categories. Here's the explanation:

  1. Total Vacancy : The total number of posts is 01 , not separate posts for EWS and PWD.

  2. Eligibility :

    • The candidate must fulfill both:

      • EWS (Economically Weaker Section) criteria, and
      • PWD (Person with Disabilities) criteria as specified in the notification.

  3. Implication : Only candidates who fall under both EWS and PWD categories are eligible to apply for this position.

  4. Confirmation : Carefully check the detailed advertisement or notification for specific eligibility conditions and the reservation policy.

Hello there,

With a 53 percentile in CAT , the chances of receiving a call from XISS (Xavier Institute of Social Service) may be limited, as their typical cutoff for CAT is generally higher than this, especially for their flagship programs like MBA or PGDM .

However, admission depends on several factors such as:

  1. Academic Profile : Your 10th (67.8%) , 12th (82.5%) , and graduation SGPA (7.5) are decent, and they can contribute positively to your application.

  2. Work Experience/Extra-curriculars : If you have any relevant work experience or strong extra-curricular achievements, it might improve your chances.

  3. Overall Application Strength : XISS also considers your overall profile, including your statement of purpose (SOP) and interview performance .

Though the CAT percentile is a key factor, you might still be considered based on your overall profile if you apply to their PGDM programs . It's always worth checking with the college directly for the specific eligibility criteria and cutoffs for the year you're applying.


I would recommend you to use CAT College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.
