Top B-schools with 75 to 90 percentile
Based on their last year XAT cut offs, it is expected that the cut off will remain the same in Top B-schools with 75 to 90 percentile as was applicable last year. A few of these B-schools had higher CAT cut offs than XAT score cut offs as XAT is considered a bit more difficult exam. Another good news is that most of these B-schools are still open with their admission process.

A few of such prominent Top B-schools with 75 to 90 percentile cut off in XAT with their admission process open include Great Lakes, BIMTECH, TAPMI, K J Somaiya, LIBA, IFMR, IRMA, MICA among others.

Top B-schools with 50 to 75 percentile
Don’t think that these B-schools are not as good as others. In fact the fee, placement in these Top B-schools with 50 to 75 percentile cut off in XAT exam, offers high RoI. At a low fee you are getting high placements and that too with an easier admission opportunity to your preferred MBA/PGDM programme.

A few of the important institutes  accepting XAT scores and offering admission to you with not such a high XAT percentile are ISB&M Pune; XIME Bangalore; IFIM Bangalore; CoMES-UPES Dehradun; MITSOB, Pune; Durga Devi Saraf (DSIMS) Mumbai; ASM Pune among others. These Top B-schools with 50 to 75 percentile cut offs also have low fee structure while the average placement goes as high as Rs. 5 to Rs.7.40 lakhs.

Low scores in XAT 2017 leading to high percentile
Since low XAT scores are expected to lead to high percentile, experts at VistaMind Education, CL are unanimous that a score of 34-35 marks would lead to around 98-99 percentile. The official answer keys for percentile determining sections of Verbal, DM, Quant & DI will make you draw the decisive conclusion whether you will be shortlisted by XLRI as only these 3 sections will determine your percentile score.

In the 60 years history of Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) gate way to XLRI and other 150 top rated B schools, this practice of releasing the answer keys and the question paper with explanation began 2 years ago only when a few students grumbled and expressed their dissatisfaction regarding the XAT exam. XLRI the XAT conducting B-school immediately published the answer keys and the question paper to ensure total transparency in XAT.

Even before your XAT 2017 result is declared next week, you can check your XAT 2017 percentile and get ready for the final selection round comprising Group Discussion (GD); Written Ability Test (WAT) and  Personal Interview (PI) .
