The XAT Exam Results 2025: The XAT Selection Process

The Selection Process based on the XAT result starts after the results are announced. The selection process is almost similar to that with CAT exam 2024.

  • XLRI does not offer unified counselling.
  • Institutes that accept XAT scores handle counselling differently, depending on their selection criteria.
  • The selection process consists of different rounds of Group Discussion(GD), Group Exercise(GE), and Personal Interview (PI).
  • Those who clear the cut-off for their respective institute get forward to other rounds of GD-PI.
  • For some institutes, the final merit list is prepared by adding the scores from the GK sections, while some colleges don’t consider it.
  • However, until now, the scores of the Essay section have been considered only by XLRI and no other institute.
