What percentage of students admitted to XLRI has no work experience?

Every institute offering an MBA degree has some percentage of students who are freshers or can be said to have no work experience. XLRI too has the same, with some change in percentage over the years. The points below might help you answer your question.

• Earlier, the percentage of freshers in XLRI used to be quite high, due to certain reasons.
• Recently, there has been a gradual decrease in the percentage of freshers at XLRI, along with the changes in the structure of admission across all Business Schools in India.
• The policy of western Business Schools is to always prefer candidates with good work experience and even had strict policies that only candidates with a certain minimum limit of work experience can get admission.
• The top Business Schools in India have started incorporating this policy of allowing only experienced candidates with time.
• The gross percentage of candidates with some work experience in XLRI is even higher than 70% at present. Even in IIMs, the condition is the same.

Therefore, there are few candidates only who get admission in XLRI and IIMs with no work experience. But, the count is not zero. There are factors that can still be enough for a candidate’s profile to be as good as an experienced profile for selection.
