Got a high percentile but middling options. Need help choosing

I'm a final year student at a tier 1 DU college, but from a humanities course(not eco). While I have live projects, PORs and decent extracurriculars in a few Case Comp wins, my placement opportunities were limited. I scored 99.95+ percentile in XAT 2026, 280 in NMAT (CAT was a bad day), but only have the option of XLRI Delhi in hand rn. I am considering if I should take the option or reattempt the exams considering my score.

My profile is 9/9/8, and plan to go into Consulting in the future. Would love any guidance from current or past students on what roles are offered (front end/backend), how skewed it is towards XLRI JSR and the long term prospects. Would love to know if I should take the offer or reattempt for something better considering my course limits my chances of doing a job alongside and how much of a gamble the process is sometimes.

Any and all guidance is very much appreciated!

Need help in choosing between SIBM P and XLRI D

Hi everyone!

I'm a GNEM fresher with 9/9/8 profile, I'm currently in the final year of my undergrad from a Tier 1 DU college. I have two options currently in SIBM P and XLRI D. Job does not seem like a likely option. I have decent extracurriculars in a few case comp wins and PORs alongside live projects.

I am also weighing that against choosing to reappear for CAT since I had a pretty high (99.9+) percentile in XAT, but I'm not sure if the gap year would be worth the gamble of leaving these options.

Any and all insights are appreciated

Thank you!
