XLRI Xavier School of Management

You need to check this with the current student. They can help you better.

Hello,
Admissions at XIMR can be taken through the CAP rounds (through MH CET scores) or the CMAT scores. The college is not autonomous; it is affiliated to the Mumbai University. It is related to XLRI and XIMB as all these colleges are operated under the same Jesuit parent organization.

MBA in Information management would be ideally suited if you want to stay in technical domain. Otherwise, 2 years is not a huge work experience that you cannot change your domain. Doing majors in marketing or finance, you have option to go in main stream MBA jobs.
SP jain IM is a specialized program, MDI also provides it. but most colleges will have special IM related subjects to choose from. Good luck

For admission into XLRI , you need passing grades in all these standards you have mentioned. There is no minimum cutoff mentioned as such but a higher spectrum is generally favorable or required. I would say that more than 90% of students who have got admission into XLRI would have more than 55% in 10th and 12th

Yes clearing the cutoff is vital. You can not get admission any other way than clearing the cut off.

No disadvantages. Work experience will give you corporate exposure and as a fresher you may be offered a CTC which is slightly lesser than your work experience counterparts. But thats not a huge margin. Infact freshers are preferred more in FMCG companies.

Placements at XLRI are fantastic with 100% achievement. All students get placed generally in 3 days of the placement season. Average CTC for BM lies around 18-19 lakhs whereas for HR is at around 17 lakhs.
