XAT 2020 Score vs Percentile: Cutoff, Participating Institutions

Q: What happens if two candidates have the same score?

In such cases, ties are broken based on specific rules defined by XLRI.

Q: Can I predict my XAT percentile based on my score?

While there's no perfect way to predict your XAT percentile before the official results are announced, you can get a rough estimate using percentile predictors available online or through coaching institutes. These tools are based on past data and trends, but remember that they are not 100% accurate.

Q: How is XAT percentile calculated?

XAT percentiles are not calculated based on a fixed marking scheme. Instead, they are determined using a process called relative grading. Here's a simplified explanation: All XAT scores are arranged in descending order. The candidate with the highest score gets the 100th percentile. The candidate at the median (middle) of the list gets the 50th percentile. The remaining candidates' percentiles are calculated based on their position relative to the median and the top scorer.
