Top B-schools Accepting XAT Scores – The Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) is a national-level entrance exam held once every year in a computer-based format. Every year over 1 lakh candidates register for XAT and more than 70,000 appear for the exam.
The XAT is accepted for admission to post-graduate management programs by 160 institutions, including TAPMI, IMT, etc., along with XLRI and 11 other XAMI colleges. Much like CAT, to get admission into leading B-schools accepting XAT scores, you need to clear the XAT cutoffs, get shortlisted for the selection rounds, and clear all the interview rounds.
