Mandavi SharmaStudied MBA in Human Resource Management at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (2019)

XIMB is a part of Xavier University, Bhubaneswar which comprises schools of business management (XIMB), school of RM (XSRM), school of HR (XaHR) and school of SM.

NMAT cut-off for XIMB for the year 2020 was 200+. Section wise cut off lied between:

Quantitative Skills: 70-75
Logical Reasoning: 65-70
Language Skills: 62-65

The cut-off for the batch 2021-23 will be released in the month of April.

Since the cut off has always gone up hence, it is not possible to say whether you will get XIMB-HRM with this score. But, it is always better to stay prepared. Therefore, it is advisable to prepare for WAT and PI.
