MBA HRM Admission Process Checklist
- Entrance Exams: Most programs require CAT 2025 (taken Nov 2025) or XAT 2026 (Jan 4, 2026). If you haven’t taken these, look for institutes accepting CMAT or MAT (exams in Jan/Feb 2026).
- Sectional Cut-offs: Programs like XLRI HRM have specific sectional cut-offs (Verbal, Decision Making, Quant). Ensure your preparation is balanced.
- Profile Building: For the HR specialization, interviewers often look for empathy, ethical decision-making, and communication skills. Highlight any leadership roles or “people-centric” projects in your application.
