XLRI Delhi-NCR Admission Process

PGDM-BM Admission

XLRI Jamshedpur conducts XAT as the common MBA entrance examination for admission to both campuses. Indian applicants seeking PGDM-BM admission at the Delhi-NCR campus apply through XAT, while international applicants may use GMAT scores.

1. Check eligibility: Applicants need a bachelor's degree in any subject from a recognised university. Students in the final year of graduation may submit a provisional application.
2. Take the accepted examination: Indian candidates use XAT. International applicants and some NRI applicants can apply directly to XLRI with a valid GMAT score without appearing for XAT.
3. Meet the screening requirements: The PGDM-BM XAT 2026 cutoff was 96 percentile for male candidates and 91 percentile for female candidates. Separate sectional cutoffs also apply.
4. Attend the selection rounds: Candidates shortlisted through their entrance score take part in a Group Discussion and Personal Interview.
5. Complete the final evaluation: XLRI considers entrance performance, communication, analytical thinking and professional clarity. Work experience adds to the profile but is not compulsory.

The Delhi-NCR campus follows the same broad shortlisting approach as XLRI Jamshedpur. Along with the overall percentile, evaluators review sectional scores in Verbal Ability, Decision Making and Quantitative Aptitude.

PGDM-IEV and Other Programmes

Applicants to PGDM-IEV may submit XAT or GMAT scores. Shortlisted students then attend GD and PI rounds. Selection considers the entrance score as well as entrepreneurial outlook, leadership potential and the clarity of the applicant's venture plans.

DBA and Executive Development Programme applicants apply directly. XLRI verifies their work experience, and the selection process includes an interview with faculty members. DBA applicants also submit a research proposal for review by an XLRI faculty panel, while Executive Development Programmes do not require an entrance examination.

XLRI Delhi-NCR Placements

The Delhi-NCR campus draws on XLRI's established recruiter network and its location near the corporate centres of Gurugram. In the latest placement season, PGDM-BM students received an average package of INR 31.40 LPA, a median package of INR 29 LPA and a highest offer of INR 59 LPA.

Recruitment covers FMCG, consulting, banking and manufacturing. The Jhajjar campus is close to multinational companies operating in the Delhi-NCR business corridor. PGDM-IEV students who prefer entrepreneurship over a corporate role can receive venture support through the on-campus XCEED incubation centre.

XLRI Delhi-NCR Rankings

XLRI Delhi-NCR Campus and Infrastructure

The 36-acre campus is located in Aurangpur, Jhajjar, Haryana. More than 400 rooms are provided in separate hostel blocks for male and female students. XLRI Delhi-NCR is fully residential, and PGDM-BM students have accommodation included in their programme fee.
