If you’re aiming to get into XLRI Jamshedpur’s MBA/PGDM program in 2025, you’ll need to successfully pass three main rounds: Group Discussion (GD), Written Ability Test (WAT), and Personal Interview (PI). First things first, you need to clear the minimum XAT 2024 cutoff score set by the institute. You will receive a topic from the facilitators, and you will prepare for 20-30 minutes. You’ll get a chance to gather your thoughts before speaking for a minute. After everyone has spoken, an open discussion will follow. The topics can range from politics and economics to philosophy and lifestyle, so it’s best to be ready for anything. Only those who clear each stage of the selection process will make it to the final merit list. To help you prepare thoroughly, here’s a list of XLRI GD topics from the past five years.
