XAT Scorecard 2027: Details Mentioned

Check every detail as soon as you download your XAT scorecard 2027. If anything is wrong, contact the XAT helpdesk through the official portal straight away.

Candidate name, XAT ID, date of birth and gender
Exam date
Section-wise raw scores and percentiles: Verbal and Logical Ability (VALR), Decision Making (DM), Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation (QADI)
Overall Part 1 score (out of 75) and overall percentile
General Knowledge score, shown separately (it does not count towards the percentile)

How is the XAT Result 2027 Calculated?

Your XAT 2027 result is based on Part 1 only: 75 questions across VALR (26), DM (21) and QADI (28). Each correct answer earns +1, each wrong answer costs 0.25, and every unattempted question beyond the first 8 costs 0.10. XLRI then ranks all candidates and converts each rank into a percentile, both overall and for each section. XAT is held in a single slot, so there is no normalisation.

Want to know your score before the result? Use your response sheet with the XAT score calculator.

XAT Result 2027: Expected Score vs Percentile

The same score can mean very different percentiles depending on the paper. In XAT 2026, about 40 marks out of 75 gave the 95th percentile; in XAT 2025, about 30–31 marks did.

Percentile	Approx. Score (XAT 2026)	Approx. Score (XAT 2025)
99	Above 41	35–36
95	About 40–41	30–31
90	About 36	25–27
85	About 33	22–24
80	About 30	19–21

Based on XAT 2026 student scorecards and XAT 2025 result data. See the full XAT score vs percentile analysis.

XAT Response Sheet and Answer Key 2027

XLRI releases the XAT response sheet and provisional answer key inside your candidate login a few days after the exam, well before the XAT result 2027. Use them to calculate your expected score.

How to Download the XAT 2027 Response Sheet

Visit xatonline.in.
Log in with your XAT ID and password.
Open the Response Sheet section.
Download the PDF, which shows each question ID and the option you selected.
Match your answers with the provisional answer key to estimate your score.

How to Raise an Objection Against the XAT Answer Key

If you think an answer in the provisional key is wrong, you can challenge it during the objection window. In XAT 2026, the window opened with the provisional key on 9 January 2026 and stayed open for about 2–3 days.

Step	What to Do
Step 1	Log in at xatonline.in with your XAT ID and password.
Step 2	Open the answer key objection section.
Step 3	Select the question you want to challenge.
Step 4	Enter your justification and upload supporting material if needed.
Step 5	Pay the objection fee, which is charged per question.
Step 6	Submit and save a copy of your objection.

Note: Objections are accepted only within the official window. After XLRI publishes the final answer key, no further changes are made, and the XAT result 2027 is prepared from the final key.

What After XAT Result 2027?

Download and save your scorecard. Keep a PDF and a printout; colleges ask for it during applications and interviews.
Check cut-offs. XLRI releases programme-wise XAT cut-offs for PGDM (BM) and PGDM (HRM) a few days after the result. For reference, the XAT 2026 cut-off for XLRI BM was 94 percentile for male candidates and 88 for female candidates.
Watch for shortlists. Candidates who clear the overall and sectional cut-offs are called for XLRI’s interview process.
Apply to other XAT colleges. More than 150 B-schools accept XAT scores, and most run their own application process. Many need a separate application, so check deadlines.
Prepare for interviews. Start practising GD, WAT and PI topics as soon as the result is out.

XAT Result 2027: Selection Process

There is no central counselling for XAT. Each institute that accepts XAT scores runs its own selection process.
Institutes shortlist candidates using the XAT percentile (and, at XLRI, sectional percentiles).
Shortlisted candidates go through rounds such as group discussion, written ability test and personal interview, depending on the institute.
XLRI uses the GK score in its final selection, along with your XAT performance, interview and profile. Most other institutes do not use GK.
The essay section was removed from XAT from 2025 onwards, so there is no essay score on the XAT 2027 scorecard.
