Let's understand the XAT 2025 percentile calculation through an example
Presume 80,000 students took the XAT entrance exam and the candidate's rank is 500. Then the candidate's XAT percentile will be 79,000/80,000 x 100 = 99.375
After the publication of the XAT score, XLRI Jamshedpur will announce the XAT cutoff for the academic year. Every student should go through the XAT cutoffs of the corresponding institute that they are targeting, from the official website. The shortlisted students will further undergo a selection process that comprises a Written Ability Test (WAT), a Group Discussion (GD), and a Personal Interview (PI). The selection process will vary for different institutes, one by one. Checking of the status of the selection can be done by the candidate visiting the official website of XLRI Jamshedpur i.e. xlri.ac.in. During the checking of status, the students will be requested to select the preferred program name from the dropdown provided.
If one looks at the past year, the report of XLRI Jamshedpur shows that three programs were provided.
After the XAT results and cut-off scores are announced, the shortlist will be conducted. The XAT selection process will consist of a Group Discussion (GD), a Personal Interview (PI), and an Essay Writing session. It should be noted that XLRI and institutes opting for the joint admissions process require candidates to apply separately after the XAT results 2026 are released. Therefore, the final step in candidate selection will depend on the XAT results and their performance during the selection process.
XLRI Jamshedpur will announce the official XAT 2026 cut off. The least scores needed by a man or woman to be eligible for XLRI or any of the other participating institutes is called the XAT cut-off. Candidates who have got the shortlist will be called for counseling rounds on the grounds of the XAT 2026 cut-off.
