Hello,

It won't be a problem if you are passing out from XLRI because the Institute has its own reputation. Also, many people have gap between their 12 and graduation and are working successfully. You should get ready for this question to asked in every interview you appear as why there is such a long gap between your 12 and graduation. Other than this, there won't be any problem. The recruiters look out for qualification and the knowledge of the person as the major factors before selecting anyone.

All the best.

Your final conversation will completely depend on your performance in the GD, WAT and PI rounds. 65% weightage  is given to the XAT percentile and the rest on the GD, WAT and PI rounds. You'll have different interviews based on the programs you've applied for. Since your academic record is pretty good so with some extra effort in the selection rounds you can easily get into the college. Moreover XLRI focuses much on general business questions as per the goings on in the economy. So just focus on that and you'll be good to go.

All the very best
