Hi everyone,
We know that you guys have a lot of queries regarding a lot of things (:P).
This FAQ post would address most of the important doubts popping up in your mind. If this post does not address your particular query, you can always ask the same in the comments section or PM us with the questions. While we will try our best to address them, we would request you to be a little patient since all of us are engaged in our internships.
1. Have converted one or both of BM/HRM, and waitlisted in the other?
To continue being on the waitlist, you have to send a DD. If you are waitlisted in both the BM&HR, send separate DDs for both the courses.
In case you have converted one and are waitlisted for the other, you need to make the fee payment through NEFT/RTGS to accept your admission for that course and send the payment proof alongside the acceptance letter and other documents mentioned in Annexure A&B.
You would have to separately send the DD to continue being on the waitlist for the other course.
In case you convert the other later and have submitted the fee already, you can ask the admissions office to consider the fee you submitted earlier to be considered for the other program. You'll have to send an email/letter for the same to the admissions office.
If you've converted both, you choose one.
We recommend sending a small letter alongside your DD that mentions your details like XAT ID, the program converted etc., and any special comments if you want.
Don't forget to keep a track of your courier. Once the courier is delivered at XLRI, you can call/email the admissions office to confirm reception of your DD/Acceptance Letter, they're good people.
2. In case you withdraw?
You will be refunded most of your money. The amount will be refunded within 2-3 business days after your application for withdrawal reaches the office, and you will get the refund as per AICTE norms, which means INR 1000/- will be deducted.
Please note, to withdraw after submission of fee, you have to send a hard copy to the same address mentioning your withdrawal. Drop an email as well, just to be safe.
3. Address to send DDs.
The address is given in the annexure A&B. Waitlisted candidates need to use the same address. In case you've sent it to some other address, don't worry as long as you've sent it to XL and mentioned that it is regarding admissions.
Address: Chairperson Admissions, XLRI, Circuit House Area (East), Jamshedpur 831 001
4. Admissions?
They begin on the dates mentioned in the annexure. You report a day prior, so that's 10th June. People who want to avail loans can come earlier to avoid the rush. Officials from various banks would be present at the campus to process your loans.
You would be allocated your rooms 2-3 days before the commencement of the program. In case your family plans to come along, the institute provides accommodation facilities for them as well. We’ll post more details in due time.
5. What to do in the two months?
Sleep!! Like really, you'll want to sleep as much as possible, meet your friends, spend time with your family. You'll miss them once you come to XL.
You could probably plan a road trip, go shopping, and do whatever you really enjoy before you come to XL. Once you are here, schedules would be hectic, and you would miss these good times (Nonetheless, you’d surely have the best time of your life at XL)
And yes, you could read up something on Economics, Quantitative techniques (Probability), and the basics of Accounting. Your best resource for these would be the Internet. And do read, these subjects can give you a real hard time in the first term.
6. CV making?
You'll need to use the time available now to get proofs for everything you want to mention in your CV here. We'll get back to this very soon. Till then, contact your UG college and workplace to get your certificates ready, if any.
7. Waitlist movements?
We can't comment officially on the movements. Past year's data and last year movements are there on PagalGuy, make your calls accordingly.
8. Official Communication?
We only clarify things here on Facebook. You're free to make WhatsApp groups, but don't expect a senior to solve any query there. If anyone does, believe at your own risk.
9. Doubts regarding placements and profiles?
We plan to solve your queries over related to academic rigor, sports facilities, Infra, what to expect and other things after a few waitlist movements. For any placement-related information, you can read the placement reports here:

10. Any other queries that might have been skipped?
Well, you can watch for the comment section on facebook posts or PM us the queries (if urgent). ExLink would surely try to address them as promptly as possible
PS: We are quite active on Facebook, so please join those groups, you'll need to send one of the admins a screenshot of your admission letter alongside XAT ID in order to get your request approved.
