The selection process for XAT 2022 starts in February and ends in April 2022. Each institution has its own selection process and there is no centralized process. Applicants who enter the final merit list based on XAT scores and other selection rounds (such as GD) will be called for the counseling rounds conducted by XLRI and other institutes.
Academic performance, previous work experience and the overall profile of the candidate also play an important role in the selection process. The goal of XAT 2022 is to select students suitable for management courses for more than 150 management colleges. To apply for the XAT 2022 selection process, you only need to register on the official website of your favorite university.

Hence, the XAT choice system will shift from school to school. There won't be any basic advising round for every one of the foundations.

Candidates who will clear the base XAT cutoff will be called for advanced XLRI Selection Procedure.

The Selection Procedure of XAT will comprise of three phases. The first round will incorporate the Registration. In the second round, applicants will be shortlisted based on the Result.

Candidates will also be required to provide the score of qualifying MBA entrance examination that they have appeared in.
Stage 2 – Personal Interview round conducted by XLRI Jamshedpur.
Once these rounds are completed, the total score for final selection will be analyzed based on the weightage given to several assessment components such as XAT score, Group discussion and personal interview rounds, essay writing, past academic records, work experience, and overall profile and performance of the candidates shortlisted.

Note*
In the group discussion round, candidates are divided into groups of 8 to 15 people, depending on the number of shortlisted candidates and the total number of rounds that the institute intends to operate. Each group is assigned a topic, and participants must deal with that topic. The time limit for each GD is about 15-25 minutes. XLRI GD topics can involve current affairs, politics, social issues (such as women's rights and liberation), or any other topics related to advertising, technology, education, or the economy in India.
In the personal interview (PI), questions about the academic background, performance, and motivation of the MBA candidate will be asked. The interviewer aims to assess the candidate's communication skills, content, self-confidence, and ability to think under pressure. Due to low self-confidence, poor communication skills, and fear of public speaking, you feel overwhelmed by the idea of intellectual property.
