XLRI Xavier School of Management

I assume you mean to say that you got 58.8 percentile in MAT. In order to get into XLRI, you need to give XAT. Upon receiving the call from XLRI, you will have to clear the GD and PI rounds. The cumulative scores of XAT and GD-PI will be taken into account for the admission in XLRI.

Yes, you can get a chance in XIME and Christ University though it might be a close one. I would keep my fingers crossed. Unfortunately, XLRI doesn't accept CMAT scores. They only consider XAT and GMAT scores.

Can you please clearly mention your percentile? It will help me in giving you a better opinion. If you don't wish to disclose it, then it's fine. Anyway, your scores in 10th, 12th are not so bad. Your marks should not be an issue for you to get admission into XLRI.

As long as you have a graduation degree in your hand, you are certainly eligible to join the course. Distance education should not be an issue.

International Placement in HR is not as common as they are in Finance, Consulting, or Analytics. Although there are companies which provide international placements in both the campuses. But, I will definitely say that both campuses are great places to study and you can go to either of them by comparing the parameters like Fees, RoI, Location, Your Own Preference, Opportunities compatible to you. Then you can make an informed choice.

Yes, past academic performance has a weightage in the final interview process.

Yes. Both in internship placements of 1st year as well as in final placements for the 2nd year students. XLRI is only getting better with placements. There is a phrase we say here, 'XL aae ho, place to hoge hi'. I think that should suffice.
