I scored 32.7 percentile in XAT. I have a really good academic background, my graduation CGPA is also 9.5 out of 10. Should i apply for XIME or is there any chance that I'll get a call for GD/PI?

Hello Nandini,

With a 32.7 percentile in XAT, it is unlikely that you will directly get a call for GD/PI from top-tier B-schools like XIME, as their cutoffs tend to be higher. However, your strong academic background and impressive CGPA (9.5 out of 10) can still make you a competitive candidate for some institutes that value overall profile and past performance.

Here are some options to consider:

1. Check XIME's Cutoff : Verify the previous year’s cutoff and compare it with your percentile to assess your chances. Some institutes have different criteria and may consider factors like academic excellence and work experience.
   
   

In summary, while getting a GD/PI call from XIME might be challenging with a 32.7 percentile, it's still worth exploring other opportunities where your academic performance could be a strong point for selection.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Hello,

32.7 percentile score in XAT is quite low for institutes like XIME Bangalore or other campuses. The chances of getting a call for GD/PI are slim. These institutes expect a higher percentile, around 70 and above.

But there is a good point. Our academic score. You secured a great CGPA, which is 9.5/10, which is quite impressive and would add a great weightage to your resume. So you can do one thing: you give other entrance exams like MAT, CAT, MCAT, and ATMA. XIME also considers the score of this exam as well. So prepare well for these exams and score a higher percentile. This would ensure your chance of getting into XIME is higher. You can also consider applying to other institutes which have a lower XAT score requirement.
