XAT percentile is calculated from candidate's raw XAT score. Since XAT is conducted in a single session, there is no normalisation of marks. To understand the XAT scoring process, first know XAT marking scheme:
XAT Marking Scheme 2026 | |
|---|---|
Right answer | +1 mark |
Wrong answer | -0.25 marks |
Unanswered questions | 0 marks |
8 consecutive unanswered questions | -0.10 marks |
- For XAT score calculation, marks obtained in all the three sections (Verbal Ability, Decision Making & Quantitative Aptitude) are added
- GK score is not included in XAT percentile calculation. It is evaluated at the time of PI and Essay Writing round
- Qualifying candidates are then ranked according to total marks scored in XAT exam
- Each candidate’s rank is divided by the remaining number of test takers and then multiplied by 100 to arrive at the XAT percentile score
Understanding XAT percentile calculation with example:
Assuming 80,000 students took the XAT test and a candidate's rank is 1000. Then, candidate's XAT percentile will be: 79,000/80,000x100=98.75
XLRI has released the XAT 2026 official answer keys. All the objections received from the test takers on official XAT answer key were verified and the final answer key was used to calculate XAT result.
