CMAT 2027 exam is expected to be conducted by NTA on January 24, 2027 (Sunday) in a single shift from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Computer Based Test mode. For reference, CMAT 2026 was held on 25 January 2026. The official CMAT 2027 date will be announced on cmat.nta.nic.in in October 2026.

The XAT 2027 provisional answer key is released 3–4 days after the exam and is open to challenges by candidates. The XAT 2027 final answer key is released after the objection window closes and incorporates corrections from accepted objections. The final answer key is used by XLRI Jamshedpur for official XAT 2027 result calculation and is the authoritative version.

To calculate your XAT 2027 score, add +1 for each correct Part 1 answer, subtract 0.25 for each wrong Part 1 answer, and subtract 0.10 for each unattempted question beyond the first 8 unattempted. Add +1 for each correct GK answer with no penalty for wrong GK answers. The total is your expected XAT 2027 raw score.

Yes, candidates can challenge the XAT 2027 answer key during the official objection window opened by XLRI Jamshedpur after the provisional answer key release. Submit objections with strong supporting evidence — academic references or official source documents — through your xatonline.in login. An objection fee may apply, refundable if the objection is accepted.
