Hello Dear,

You have not mentioned for which category you have applied in XAT. For General category XAT cut offs for 2021 admission are expected to be around 32.5-33.5 marks for PGDM-BM and 30-31 marks for PGDM-HRM course of XLRI Jamshedpur.

So you can expect XLRI on your this rank. You can also expect your percentile between 90-94 percentile as per the expected cuoff of 2021. The cut off depends upon the number of seats available, the difficulty level of paper and number of candidates writing the examination. And, hence varies every year depending on these factors.

Good Luck

Dear aspirant,

As your percentile in cat is 34.66 and your xat score is 30.50 , i dont think that there is any chance for you to get calls from any of the iims and i dont think even XLRI would give a call.

The minimum cut off percentile required to get a call from iim is about 35-40 percentile.

Hello,

The best option to improve accuracy is by solving and practicing as many questions as you can.One should solve a lot of mock papers and strive to improvise on sectional tests .You should time yourself as well to know how fast are you able to solve such questions.An important practice when preparing for all the sections is the need to solve previous papers’ questions of XAT as that gives you a very good idea about what kind of questions to expect and how to tackle them.

All the best!

XAT  has 2 sections. Part 1 has VALR, Decision Making, QA DI while Part 2 has General Knowledge. Every correct answer gets you 1 mark and a wrong answer in Part 1 takes away 0.25 in the form of negative marking and there is no negative marking for GK. You can read the complete information at our article:

But to give you a glimpse of preparation:

First things first, know the syllabus. And go through the previous papers to analyse and prepare a comprehensive plan and set priorities according to the importance of different topics across sections. Customise your own study plan based on your strengths and weaknesses. Gauge your preparation from time to time by taking mock tests. Solve questions to check your levels of preparation but not to set any targets. Remember, its ok to have cheat days and relax. But make sure you have a plan and stick to it for the next few months because even Rome wasn’t built in a day.

NCERT books will sharpen your basics and you need strong basics for preparing for any entrance examination. Once your basics are in place, because the time period for preparation is quite less, your preparation should be extensive and thorough.

Quantitative Aptitude covers almost 30% of the CAT question paper. QA can be categorised into Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Advanced Mathematics. Practise chapter by chapter and develop mental calculations. Like practise more of basic summation, subtraction, fractions and tables. Numbers, Percentage, Profit and Loss, Simple and Compound Interest, Ratio, Proportionality, Time-Distance, Time-Work, Mixtures, Averages, Partnership, Permutation and Combinations, Probability, Set Theory, Progression and Series, Line, Angles, Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Polygon, Circles, Ares, Volume, Height and Distance, Coordinate Geometry, Basic Trigonometry are few important topics.

Preparation tips:

Because this section involves mathematics and takes most of your time, your focus should be on solving the problems efficiently in the beginning. Even if it takes time, practise upto perfection. Practise as many questions as you can in the conventional way. As and when you get a grip on the subject, you can go for short cuts. Memorise tables, square roots, cube roots, conversion from percent to fraction, etc. Solve sample papers on Mathematics. In the beginning, do not worry about the time it takes. As you practise, you will get the hang of the subject and it will be easier for you.

In Verbal Ability session, command on your English, Grammar, Vocabulary, Understanding of the given paragraph are of more importance. Reading English NewsPaper will also help you in your preparation.

Preparation tips:

Read articles from time to time. Follow newspapers, magazines, and watch the news channels and browse the internet to keep yourself updated. You will need a lot of reading to help you in the comprehension section. You will need speed to help you in this section and you can achieve that only by thorough practise and reading. Take time to understand the question because most answers are interlinked.

Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning needs to be practised as much as possible. Comparison of data, Data Analysis, taking clues, interpreting missing data, coming to conclusions and making future projections will be covered under this Category. The questions here are interlinked and so if you get one formula correct, cracking the next few questions will be easy. So it's important to memorise and practise formulae. You should cover topics like Data tables, Data Charts, Bar Diagrams, Pie Charts, Graphs, Data Comparison and Analysis.

Preparation tips:

As this is the most tricky section, this needs a lot of practise. Solve as many sample papers as possible to get the hang of the section. Make notes when required. Regular practise can help you understand and solve the questions easily as time goes on.
