The XAT (Xavier Aptitude Test) is held in different cities across India to help candidates choose a test location that is convenient for them. When filling out the application form, students can select their preferred exam centre from a list provided by XLRI.
Exam centres are usually set up in major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and others. XLRI tries to assign the chosen city, but in some cases, candidates may be allotted a nearby location if seats are full. Each exam centre is set up with proper seating, computers, and security to make sure the test runs smoothly. On exam day, candidates must carry their admit card and a valid photo ID to enter the centre.
XLRI also shares the final centre address on the XAT admit card. Candidates can check the admit card to know about the allotted centre before exam date.
XLRI adds new cities each year to make the exam more accessible. Candidates can choose their preferred centre while filling out the application form, but the final allotment depends on availability. Also note that the table above includes just a few cities, and to access the final city list, candidates can either visit the official website of XAT or refer to the admit card.
