Yes, I had given PI for the admission process. The interview was quite tough, you need to have proper knowledge about the background what you have done in your past academically. I took admission on the basis of CAT. I had scored 95.80 percentile in the exam. Admission process is through CAT, XAT and XGMT. Generally cut offs for this college goes around 92 percentile for non domicile and 91 for domicile ones.

Talking about my experience, I got a decent mark in CAT, so I got a call from the XIMB BM program. First, They took my interview, and then after 15 to 20 days shortlist will come. Generally, because of covid-19, only personal interviews happened, but before Covid 19, they took selection in 3 steps like Written ability test, a Group discussion, and a Personal interview at last. First, two steps are part of the elimination round. After we get shortlisted, we have to pay 3000 to retain your seat and after your conversion to this institute, you will have to pay another 47000 to this college. I don't recall the exact dates, but the first list came around April 1st, a week, then after ten days, it moved. My interview was good. There were three panelists in my interview; one asked me about maths because I am an Engineer, the other asked about why MBA, why XIMB, and Why Finance and some basics related to math and finance. The last one asked about my background, hobbies, and interests.

To get into XIMB you need to take the CAT/XAT online written exam, after which on selection you will be interviewed directly, and basis that the final result will be announced. Other factors like diversity and your academic background do play a role in selection.
