The XAT Exam Results 2025: The XAT Selection Process

The Selection Process based on the XAT result starts after the results are announced. The selection process is almost similar to that with CAT exam 2024.

• XLRI does not offer unified counselling.
• Institutes that accept XAT scores handle counselling differently, depending on their selection criteria.
• The selection process consists of different rounds of Group Discussion(GD), Group Exercise(GE), and Personal Interview (PI).
• Those who clear the cut-off for their respective institute get forward to other rounds of GD-PI.
• For some institutes, the final merit list is prepared by adding the scores from the GK sections, while some colleges don’t consider it.
• However, until now, the scores of the Essay section have been considered only by XLRI and no other institute.
