Note on IIT Rankings 2020

There are a couple of things that a student must understand when viewing these NIRF ranking of IITs by MHRD.

  1. The rankings 1-4 interchange very frequently. They are so close to each other in quality that it doesn’t really matter. However, most consider IIT Bombay to have greater brand value. It is also more accessible, hence, the top rankers prefer IIT Bombay over Kharagpur.
  2. IIT Guwahati has a high ranking as it has recently won accolades such as world rank 87 for universities under the age of 50 by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, and is the first Indian university to make this list. However, the rankings from 6-9 are also very very close to each other, and hence the exact order does not matter between IITs ranked 6-9.

XAT eligibility criteria 2021 for XLRI-XAT exam to be held on January 3, 2021, need only a pass in your bachelor’s degree while other exams need minimum 50 percent marks to apply for the exam. XAT 2021 eligibility is probably the simplest one among all the National Level MBA entrance exams.
XAT 2021 exam is an important MBA entrance test leading to MBA admission 2021 in XLRI, SPJIMR, IMT, XIMB, TAPMI, XIME and other 150 MBA colleges in India. Conducted by XLRI Jamshedpur for more than last 60 years, Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) is the only exam, the scores of which are considered in XLRI admission. XAT 2021 exam date is Sunday January 3, 2021. XLRI will announce the complete schedule and all XAT 2021 important dates in the month of August 2020. XAT 2021 exam is a computer based test and will be held in a single session across the country.
The XAT exam eligibility over the years has remained unchanged. XLRI does not propose to change the XAT Exam Eligibility Criteria 2021 either. Usually applicants miss on two things – XAT Exam Eligibility and Syllabus for XAT. While clarity on XAT exam eligibility will help you to apply for the exam in time, preparing as per XAT syllabus will get you through the exam.

XAT 2021 Eligibility Criteria at a Glance
With the help of information given in the following table, you can quickly check your XAT Exam Eligibility 2021. Detailed notes on XAT eligibility criteria are given below the table.

XAT 2021 Eligibility Component
XAT 2021 Eligibility Criteria

XAT Exam Eligibility Criteria 2021: Detailed Notes
No Age Bar: XAT Exam eligibility criteria 2021 prescribe ‘No Age Bar’ to appear in the XAT 2021 exam. Going along the XAT Eligibility Criteria, XLRI also does not restrict any candidate to seek admission on the basis of age and qualification.
No Minimum Qualifying Marks: According to XAT Eligibility Criteria 2021, a candidate is eligible to appear in XAT 2021, if he/she holds recognized Bachelor’s Degree with minimum 3 years duration or equivalent in any discipline.
XAT Eligibility Criteria & XLRI Eligibility are same: This is very important since the eligibility criteria in exams like CAT and eligibility criteria for admission to IIMs are different. While CAT allows 2 years of graduation degree without age bar, IIMs require minimum 3 years graduation degree which imposes hidden age bar. However, the XAT exam eligibility 2021 and the XLRI admission eligibility 2021 are same. On the pattern of XAT eligibility criteria, XLRI also does not impose minimum marks restriction in applying for the PGDM course.
Complete Graduation by June 2021: Those completing their final graduation exam by June 10, 2021 may also apply. XAT eligibility criteria further clarify that candidates in final year of Graduation are also eligible to apply for XAT 2021.
How to Ensure XAT 2021 Eligibility?
You should check and adhere to following important points to ensure your XAT 2021 exam eligibility:

  • XAT eligibility criteria do not impose any maximum age bar to appear in XAT 2021 exam.
  • The candidate applying for XAT 2021 must fulfil one of the following XAT eligibility criteria

A. Completed Bachelor’s degree, or
B. Completed professional degree (CA/CS/ICWA), or

  • In case of grades / CGPA, the conversion to percentage of marks would be based on the procedure as certified by the respective University/ institution in accordance with the XAT exam eligibility criteria.
  • Mere fulfilment of minimum XAT eligibility criteria will not ensure consideration for short listing by XLRI, SPJIMR, XIMB, IMT, TAPMI or other B-schools in which the applicant applies for admission
  • One of the key points prescribed by XLRI  in XAT eligibility criteria is that the candidates must declare and maintain a valid and unique email account and a phone number throughout the selection process
  • While getting ready for XAT, please make sure that you know about both – the XAT Exam Eligibility and Syllabus for XAT exam to enable you to prepare for the exam
