XAT scores are accepted by more than 160 institutions across the country. A 95 percentile in XAT 2022 can land you in some of the top listed B schools without a second thought. However, there is always tough competition amongst XAT aspirants when it comes to the flagship institution that accepts the XAT score - XLRI Jamshedpur. This college has an intake of 360 candidates for PGDM- Business Management and Human Resources only based on XAT scores and 160 for PGDM- Global Management Program only based on GMAT score. The 11 member institutes of XAMI go for only 1% of the students who appear for the XAT examination. This is why students passing out from such prestigious colleges attract salary packages up to 30 lakhs per annum. The top XAT 2022 score accepting colleges are:
Out of these XAT 2022 Colleges, the college which is the most sought after is XLRI Jamshedpur. XLRI Jamshedpur uses only the XAT 2022 and the GMAT Exam as the qualifying exams. Overall, there are over 160 colleges that are likely to accept the XAT 2022 Score as the qualifier for their admission processes.
The XAT 2022 Cut Off is the minimum percentile that a candidate needs to attain in order to get a call from the college they have applied to. While the exact XAT 2022 Cut Off can only be speculated since it depends on several factors such as:
However, the cut off for the top colleges in XAT 2022 has remained relatively constant over the past few years. The cut off for the BM program at XLRI Jamshedpur is likely to remain around 96%ile while the same for the HRM program is likely to stay at around 94%ile. The reason for the difference between the two percentiles is the fact that there are lesser candidates interested in the HRM Program at XLRI Jamshedpur.
However, the official XAT 2022 Cut Off will be declared after the XAT 2022 Result.
