XAT eligibility criteria do not require any minimum percentage in your undergraduate to appear in the exam but if you do get the interview call, the panel might ask you questions about the low score in your graduation. Make sure you give the honest answer but try to be smart with it. They are always looking for answers that show your potential and how you cna present even the worst things about your CV in a positive way.

Two years is a significant career gap. After graduation, work experience can help with admissions. If you don't have any work experience, you still have a chance, but you will have to justify why there was a gap due to active pursuit rather than sloth or a lack of motivation.
You can say you were busy with hobbies, interests, a start-up, a blog, an internship, a certification course, a freelance job, or social services or apathy.

You need not worry about your work experience. There would be freshers along with candidates having 3 to 4 years (or more) of work experience. Various other factors like PI performance, exam score and GD performance would also matter a lot.
All of these are taken into consideration for you to get into XLRI. And as mentioned, just try to carry work experiences for yourself so that your journey gets easier.
