XAT 2024 Cut Off Factors

Before announcing the XAT 2025 cutoff, the Xavier School of Management (XLRI) considers various factors. After the announcement of the results, the factors and determinants are examined to determine the cutoff for XAT 2025.

The factors listed below will help determine the overall XAT exam cutoff.

• Number of applications for XAT: A higher XAT cutoff 2025 is produced by more applicants for the exam.
• Total of XAT candidates: A higher cutoff for the XAT 2025 results from more applications.
• The difficulty level of the exam: XAT 2025 cutoff would be set on the lower side if the questions were assigned with a difficulty level that was on the higher side. The degree of complexity must be taken into account as a critical factor for determining the XAT XLRI cutoff.
• The total number of seats available: The XAT sectional cut off is established considering the number of seats available. If more seats are available than applicants, the XAT exam cutoff is at the lower end. XAT college cutoff will be set on the higher side if fewer seats and more applicants are available.
• Cutoff for the XLRI XAT in the past year: When deciding on the XAT cutoff, XLRI will also consider past year cutoffs.

XAT 2024 Score Normalization

XAT score is not scaled or normalized because the XAT exam is conducted on a single day in a single slot. However, if the exam is conducted in two days or more, then XLRI will announce XAT score normalization well before.

The percentile calculation formula is given below.

• XAT Percentile = [1- (your rank in XAT 2024/ Total no. of participants in XAT 2024)*100]

To illustrate, consider this example:

• If you obtain the 100th rank in the XAT 2024 and a total of 50,000 candidates participate in it. Then, the percentile obtained by you will be:
• XAT Percentile = [1-(100/50,000)*100] = 80 percentile
