No, cut offs of XAT participating colleges are different from each other. These colleges fix cut off percentiles for admission individually basis certain criteria determined by their respective admission cells. XAT cut off for XIMB is different from XAT cut off for TAPMI. XAT cut off for XIMB is usually around 90-93 whereas XAT cut off for TAPMI is 80-85. On the other hand, XAT cut off for KJ Somaiya-Mumbai is 85-90. Most of the MBA colleges shortlist candidates for admission on the basis of overall XAT percentile.

XAT cut offs are determined by XLRI Jamshedpur and the important factors it takes into consideration for it include difficulty level of the exam, average scores, average pass percentage, number of seats, number of test takers and previous year’s cut offs. There is no official list of parameters for cut off determination but it is understood that these factors play an important role in the process.  It has been seen that XAT cut offs normally don’t change more than 1 or 2 percentile. For example, in XAT 2022, the cut off for PGDM BM course was 93 percentile for male candidates and in XAT 2023, it was 95. In XAT 2021, the cut off for same category was 94.
