What is the Minimum Percentile Required for Converting an XLRI HRM Call?

The minimum percentile required to convert an eligibility for the Human Resource Management (HRM) program at XLRI typically varies each year based on the applicant pool and the overall performance of candidates. Generally, a high percentile, often around 90th percentile or higher, is necessary. However, it's important to note that the exact percentile can fluctuate from year to year.

Current Trends and Benchmarks

As of recent years, the minimum required percentile for the HRM program in the Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) is usually around 90th percentile. This is a general benchmark, but the actual number can vary based on several factors.

Trend from 2016

Previously, from XAT 2016, one needed a minimum of 91 percentile for an HRM call and 94 percentile for a Business Management (BM) call. These numbers are reflective of the trends for that specific year, and it’s wise to consider them as historical data rather than fixed benchmarks.

Impact of Other Criteria

While a high percentile is crucial, XLRI also evaluates candidates based on other factors such as past academic performance, work experience, and performance in the personal interview (PI) and group discussion (GD) rounds. An overall strong profile can significantly influence the final selection process.

Outcome and Success Rates

The overall percentile required can sometimes go as low as 93-94, but there is no fixed number or guarantee of selection. The cutoff is not only about the percentile; rather, it’s a holistic evaluation. Even the very last candidate to receive an interview call has the same chances as a person with a perfect 100 percentile, given the strength of their overall profile.

For the most accurate and current information, it's advisable to check XLRI's official announcements or consult recent candidates. The official data and insights from current or recent applicants can provide the most up-to-date and relevant information.

Additional Considerations

For those with a strong curriculum vitae or additional extracurricular achievements like sports or other significant accomplishments, the minimum required percentile may be slightly lower. Scores around the 96th percentile or higher are recommended, especially if you have a strong CV to present alongside your test scores.

Good luck with your preparation and application process!
