Pick Your XLRI Programme in the Same Form
An XAT registration alone does not make you eligible for XLRI Jamshedpur. You choose your XLRI programmes inside the form, and you cannot edit it after the final submit.
XLRI takes 120 seats for the PGDM (GM), as per the XLRI XAT page, so XLRI Jamshedpur admission to the GM is smaller. The table shows the XLRI Jamshedpur admission procedure for each programme, as per the Admission Prospectus 2027.
| Programme | Entry test | Last date to register |
|---|---|---|
| PGDM (BM), BM International Specialization, PGDM (HRM) | XAT 2027 | 6 December 2026 |
| PGDM (GM) | XAT, GMAT or GRE | 6 December 2026 (XAT), 31 December 2026 (GMAT or GRE) |
| PGDM (LSCM) with Rutgers | XAT, or GMAT or GRE for Indian candidates | 6 December 2026 for XAT |
| FPM and EFPM | UGC-NET, GATE and other tests the prospectus lists | 30 November 2026 |
The XLRI Jamshedpur admission 2027 form is the same one for every programme in the table.
The last date for the BM, HRM and BM International is 6 December 2026, through XAT 2027. The PGDM (GM) takes GMAT or GRE scores until 31 December 2026, and the FPM closes on 30 November 2026. Dates can change, so check the XAT site before you submit.
No, but it is the only way into the two-year BM and HRM. The XLRI Jamshedpur admission process for the PGDM (GM) also takes GMAT or GRE scores. NRI, foreign, PIO and OCI candidates can apply through GMAT. The XAT site says XLRI has no management quota and no NRI quota.
XLRI Jamshedpur admission dates for the BM and HRM run from July 2026 to mid-June 2027. The timeline below follows XLRI's own dates for XLRI Jamshedpur admission 2027. The admit card date of 20 December 2026 is tentative.

The XLRI Jamshedpur admission process dates for the GM run earlier. Registration closes on 6 December 2026 through XAT and on 31 December 2026 through GMAT or GRE. GMAT and GRE scores must be valid from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2026.

XLRI Jamshedpur admission criteria for the BM and HRM ask for a three-year bachelor's degree in any discipline. The degree must be from a recognised university or deemed university. The Admission Prospectus 2027 lists no minimum percentage for these two programmes and no work experience rule. These XLRI Jamshedpur admission requirements differ for the other programmes, and the list below gives each XLRI Jamshedpur admission criteria set.
A three-year bachelor's degree and at least three years of managerial experience as on 31 March 2027, in a full-time job.
Yes. Under the XLRI Jamshedpur admission criteria, final-year students can apply for the BM and HRM if their exams finish by 11 June 2027. A student whose exams are not over by that date will not be admitted. The XAT FAQ gives 12 June 2027 for XAT itself, so use 11 June for XLRI.
Only full-time work after graduation counts. An internship or articleship does not count, and nor does work before graduation. Among the XLRI Jamshedpur admission requirements for the BM and HRM, work experience is not a condition. It is one input at the final stage.
XAT 2027 has about 95 questions in 180 minutes, and the GK part is not counted in your percentile. The Xavier Aptitude Test is online and runs from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. XLRI Jamshedpur admission 2027 uses it for the BM, HRM and the XAT route of the GM and LSCM. These are the XLRI Jamshedpur admission details of the test.
| Part | Questions | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Verbal Ability and Logical Reasoning | 26 | 170 minutes for the three aptitude sections |
| Decision Making | 21 | Same 170 minutes |
| Quantitative Aptitude and Data Interpretation | 28 | Same 170 minutes |
| General Knowledge | 20 | 10 minutes |
Each question carries 1 mark, and a wrong answer costs 0.25 marks. You can skip up to 8 questions free. Each skip after the eighth costs 0.1 marks. There is no sectional time limit, and a scientific calculator is in the exam screen. The GK part has no negative marking.
Yes, but only at the selection stage. The GK part has 8 static GK and 12 current affairs questions. It does not add to your XAT percentile or the cutoff, as per the XAT site. XLRI considers it in selection for its own programmes.
You can choose six preferred test cities in the form. XAT is held in 100+ cities, and XLRI has the final say on the city it allots. Jamshedpur and Ranchi are on the list.

Offers come in February 2027, and the session starts in April 2027. Placement support for the GM needs a relieving or sabbatical letter from your employer.
XLRI Jamshedpur shortlists BM and HRM candidates on XAT scores alone, and then selects on a wider profile. The prospectus says the final list uses the five inputs below. XLRI does not publish the weight of each part.

One BM Selection for Two Campuses
XLRI says that by choosing the PGDM (BM) you are considered for Jamshedpur and Delhi-NCR at no extra fee. The HRM runs only at Jamshedpur. XLRI does not publish how it splits the 600 BM and HRM seats between campuses, so ask the admissions office on admis@xlri.ac.in how the offers are placed. The Delhi-NCR campus is in Jhajjar district, about 25 km from Gurugram.
XLRI does not say that you can choose. The XAT FAQ says the BM applicant is considered for both campuses. Ask the admissions office whether your offer will name a campus and when.
XLRI does not publish an interview document checklist for XLRI Jamshedpur admission, so confirm it with the admissions office. At registration you need a scanned photograph and signature, as per the XAT guidelines. Your name and your parents' names must match your certificates and mark sheets. Pick the tab that fits you.
Keep ready: a scanned photograph and signature, your academic details and your mark sheets. Spell your name exactly as it appears on them.
Keep the originals ready for the interview stage, and ask the office for the exact XLRI Jamshedpur admission requirements list.
The XLRI Jamshedpur cutoff for admission 2027 is not out yet, and the latest bars are those of XAT 2026. These bars are the XAT percentile that got you an interview call. For XAT 2026, the PGDM (BM) bar for male candidates was 94 overall, with 85 in QADI and 82 each in VALR and DM. Female candidates needed 88 overall. The cutoff page shows every stream, gender and programme. These XLRI Jamshedpur admission criteria change with each XAT result.
For the 2026 cycle, 94 for male BM candidates and 88 for female BM candidates, with sectional bars as well. The HRM bars are lower and differ by stream. The cutoff for the next cycle is announced after the XAT 2027 result.
XLRI publishes no seat reservation percentages for XLRI Jamshedpur admission to the PGDM (BM) and PGDM (HRM). The XAT site says admission is on merit, with no management or NRI quota. Ask the admissions office for the rule that covers your category.
XLRI's cutoff releases of 2024 and 2025 say candidates from underprivileged communities get lower cutoffs, and give no numbers. The 2026 release lists cutoffs by gender and stream only.
An XLRI Jamshedpur admission 2027 offer does not include a fee waiver for the two-year PGDM. XLRI Jamshedpur Scholarships are available to enrolled students, with most named awards offered in the second year. The scholarship page lists each award, while the fees page outlines programme costs. Plan your education loan without relying on scholarship funding.
