What is the expected XAT 2026 cut-off for general category candidates?

The cut-off is likely to be around 95–96 percentile, based on previous year trends. However, final scores may vary depending on the exam’s difficulty and the number of test-takers.

Do cut-offs differ for reserved categories like OBC, SC, and ST?

Yes, XLRI and other institutes offer lower cut-off percentiles for reserved categories to ensure fair opportunities. For OBC it's around 90–92 percentile, for SC it's 85–87 percentile, for ST it's around 80–82 percentile.

Where can I check my institute-specific XAT cut-off marks?

Visit xatonline.in, log in using your XAT ID and password, and go to the “Cut-Off Marks” section. You’ll find the category-wise and institute-wise benchmarks.

Will meeting the XAT cut-off guarantee admission to XLRI or other B-schools?

Not necessarily, clearing the cut-off only qualifies you for the next round, which includes Group Discussion (GD), Personal Interview (PI), and Written Ability Test (WAT). Final admission depends on the candidate’s overall performance.
