Nice initiative abhay

the notification for admission of XIMB is out.XIMB is among the top management institute of india.As last year this year too XIMB is taking admission through XAT for its PGDM( general management) and PGDM RM(rural management programme).
ELIGIBILITY:
Minimum three-year Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in any discipline, from a recognised University. Final year degree students, who expect to complete their final examinations and other requirements for obtaining the degree by June 15, 2010, may also apply.

Register and appear for XAT to be held on January 3, 2010. XIMB does not conduct a separate admission test, but uses XAT-2010 scores for short-listing its applicants for admission interview. XLRI has no role either in the final selection process or in the conduct of the programme.

one has to fill XIMB form separately costing 1000 for each programme

SELECTION PROCESS:
Candidates short-listed on the basis of XAT scores will be called for Group Discussion and Personal Interview, which will be held at Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Mumbai. Candidates will have to meet their own travel expenses. The final selection will be based on the candidate's performance in the XAT, Group Discussion and Personal Interview, and will take into account the past academic record and relevant work experience.

The weightage given to GD & PI are 50% upto this year.
ATB to all.

For getting into XIMB you first need to crack the XAT.
The academic score and performance shall be taken care of during the overall grading/rank in which marks of your xat%ile , GD PI process and your past academic record/work exp. will be included. So, yes, your marks in academics do form a part of overall evaluation but thats not the only parameter for evaluation.
There are many people here who have average academic records but they set it off by scoring high on other parameters.

All the best

Hi acing high

No particular kinda work-ex is given additional weightage...
If u have work-ex, all they expect is that you should know your job profile and the work that you did thoroughly...
Even if you do not have work-ex, it is perfectly fine as long as you perform well in the XAT n GD/PIs...
Hope that answers your question...

All the best for your preps!!

abhijoyximb · September 15, 2009, 11:54pm

Work ex and other such related criteria will come only into picture after your first hurdle of XAT is covered. In my personal opinion, concentrate in XAT preparation now only, if that falls into place high probability that everything will fall into place.
Still, there is no such extra points for a particular sector; and as far as the present batch goes there is a lot of diversity both in terms of sector and work experience which furthermore negates the point that something abt sector or company plays a role in selection.

Best of luck for your preps And charge ahead.

Keep Posting.

hey is the essay also considered while giving call(which most probably will not be the case ) and during gd-pi stage .. do they give importance to that or is that only for XLRI ..

Essay is generally not considered for giving out calls for the next round of selection process i.e. Gd and personal interviews, but you need to keep this in mind that you can be asked to explain the stance you have taken in your essay--perhaps thats an opportunity for you to cement your position.
Just like Xlri, XIMB's interview panel will be in the possession of your essays, so you better be prepare for it. It happened last year, and in all probabilities that is expected to continue this season as well.
the only way to write a good/decent essay is the consistent good reading, structured presentation of your thoughts and ideas and no grammatical errors!:thumbsup:

All the best.!

ari83 · September 19, 2009, 4:15pm

in xat entrance essay only comes in picture when the panel asks for explanation of one's stance not any other way ....is this true

they dont c it on grammar or other basis..want to know plz help :shocked:
coz i have seen the same in other xat's collge's forums too

Trivial grammar mistakes will certainly be not taken into consideration.
It's only in your interview that the panel may ask for your views or counterviews on the essay.
But if the grammatical errors creep in more than expected, then certainly the interview panel would take notice.

hey sir are you here

abhijoyximb · September 19, 2009, 11:49pm

The essay written by you on the given topic would be there with the panel. Whether the essay is taken into consideration while giving out interview calls is a bit of a dicey affair.

But when you are doing preparation for a XAT exam, grammer mistakes are not expected of you, and why to take a risk when a clear view is not available

Finally what is important is to keep in mind wat u had written in the XAT essay, as the interview panel may ask a few questions based on it and try to carry forward your answers to build further questions.
