XAT 2027 Result: Release Date - January 15 (Expected), How to Download Score Card from xatonline.in

The XAT 2027 result date is expected to be in the third week of January 2027. As per the official XAT 2026 eBulletin published by XLRI Jamshedpur, the XAT 2026 result was scheduled for the “last week of January, 2026”, with the score card download window open between January 31 and March 31, 2026. For reference, the XAT 2026 exam was held on January 4, 2026 and result and scorecard were officially released on January 16, 2026. XAT 2027 is expected to follow the same timeline.

The XAT 2027 score card download process is online-only — XLRI Jamshedpur does not send physical score cards to candidates. The XAT result download process requires the candidate's registered XAT ID and password, the same credentials used during XAT 2027 registration and admit card download. Follow these step-by-step instructions to download your XAT 2027 score card:

• Step 1: Visit the official XAT website at xatonline.in
• Step 2: Click on the "Scorecard" tab on the homepage
• Step 3: Enter your registered XAT ID and password
• Step 4: Enter the security text / CAPTCHA shown on the screen to verify your identity
• Step 5: Click on the "Candidate Scorecard" button
• Step 6: Your XAT 2027 score card will be displayed on screen with all percentiles and scores
• Step 7: Download the score card as a PDF file
• Step 8: Take multiple printouts for B-school application submissions

The XAT 2027 score card download window will remain active until March 31, 2027 (expected). After this date, score cards cannot be downloaded from xatonline.in — so candidates must download and save their score card well before the cutoff.

The XAT 2027 score card is a comprehensive document containing all the exam performance metrics a candidate needs for B-school applications. B-school accepting XAT scores uses the data from this score card for shortlisting. The XAT 2027 result score card displays the following information:

• Candidate's full name, registration number, and photograph
• Date of birth and category
• XAT 2027 exam date and test centre
• Overall XAT 2027 percentile
• Sectional XAT 2027 percentiles — Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning (VA-LR), Decision Making (DM), Quantitative
• Aptitude & Data Interpretation (QA-DI)
• Raw scores in each section
• General Knowledge (GK) score — used exclusively by XLRI Jamshedpur for final selection (not part of overall percentile)
• Total marks scored
• Qualifying status (Qualified / Not Qualified)
• Score card validity / issue date

The XAT 2027 percentile is calculated based on the candidate's raw score relative to the scores of all other candidates who appeared for the exam. Per the official XAT 2026 Overview PDF, the GK section is not considered when calculating the overall XAT percentile. GK marks are used exclusively by XLRI Jamshedpur in its final selection process. This means the overall XAT 2027 percentile is calculated only from Part 1 (VA-LR + DM + QA-DI) scores.

XAT 2027 Marking Scheme: Impact on Percentile

The –0.10 unattempted penalty after 8 unattempted questions is unique to XAT and significantly affects the final score. Candidates who skip too many questions to avoid negative marking may still lose marks to the unattempted penalty. Strategic attempting is therefore critical for a high XAT 2027 percentile.

Many aspirants ask how raw XAT scores convert to percentiles. While the exact score-to-percentile conversion varies year on year based on overall exam difficulty and candidate performance, the following table gives an indicative reference based on XAT trends across recent years. This is not an official XLRI conversion table, the final percentiles are calculated by XLRI based on actual XAT 2027 candidate performance.
