What an XAT Score Can Get You
The Xavier Aptitude Test is run by XLRI and is used by many respected management institutes for MBA and PGDM admission. Because XAT percentiles map to a raw score, it helps to know roughly what score each college has needed in the past.
Expected cutoffs move with the programme, your category, the number of applicants and the admission year. Use the tables below as a starting point, then check each college's latest notification.
