Hello

If you need a free certification course for Python, Java, and full-stack development.

Then you refer to courses by Open Weaver, Coursera, Google, and Udemy, or you can search for free certification courses, and then you will get many options.

Yes, it is definitely possible for you to get an interview call from Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai for their PGDM program, even with a 73 percentile in XAT 2025. While the typical cutoff for XAT may be higher, around 85 percentile, Great Lakes considers a variety of factors in their selection process, including academic performance, work experience, and diversity in the class.

Since you are a non-engineer female candidate, that diversity is seen as a positive aspect. Even with your XAT score, if you have a strong academic record, relevant work experience, and a clear passion for management, you can still stand out in the application process.

To increase your chances:

Prepare thoroughly for the interview by focusing on your experiences, what drives you, and how you align with the program’s values.

Highlight your unique background and any leadership roles you’ve had.

Show how Great Lakes fits with your career goals.

While the competition can be tough, if you present a well-rounded application and give your best in the interview, you can definitely convert the call into an offer.

Admission to MICA's PGDM and PGDM-C programs involves a multi-stage selection process. The final composite score is calculated with the following weightage:

• CAT/ XAT/ GMAT - 35%
• MICAT - 25%
• GE (Group Exercise) - 10%
• PI - 20%
• Academic performance (10th, 12th, Graduation) - 5%
• Extra- curricular - 5%

Your XAT score is 73, performing exceptionally well in MICAT can enhance your chances of being shortlisted for the GE and PI rounds. Specific score requirements for MICAT are not publicly disclosed, focusing on thorough preparation and aiming for high performance in each section will strengthen your application.

With a 43 percentile in XAT, getting into top-tier colleges may be tough, but you still have options. Many institutions with flexible cutoffs might consider your application, especially if other parts of your profile—like academics, work experience, or interview performance—are strong.

Here are some colleges that could be within reach:

Jaipuria Institute of Management (Indore, Ghaziabad)

NSB Academy

FIIB Delhi

Pune Business School

XIME (Kochi, Chennai)

Globsyn Business School, Kolkata

SRM School of Management, Chennai

ITM Navi Mumbai

Make sure to check each college’s specific cutoffs and admission requirements for the year. Focusing on your interview and group discussion skills could also boost your chances.

Based on your high academic background (a CGPA of 9.5), you have a strong profile overall. Regarding your XAT score of 32.7 percentile, it's important to keep in mind that different institutes have varying cutoff criteria and selection processes.

XIME typically considers the following criteria for admissions:

• XAT/ CAT/ GMAT score
• Academic performance
• Work experience

Your XAT percentile is on the lower side, getting a direct call for GD/PI from XIME may be unlikely, as they generally prefer candidates with higher percentiles (around 50 or above). However, the fact that you have an excellent academic record can make you a standout candidate in the holistic evaluation process.
