How important is the XAT cut-off for selection to XLRI's PI round?
The aspirants must score as much or above the XAT cutoff to be selected for the PI round. However, it is not necessary that you will be called for PI even if you surpass the XAT cutoff. The XAT selection also depends upon the academic records. The better the academic records, the higher the chances of getting selected.
What is the sectional cutoff in XAT?
The sectional cutoff in XAT refers to the minimum marks that a candidate needs to score in each section to get a good score in XAT. It is important to meet the sectional cutoff, as those who do not meet this requirement, will not be selected for further rounds and it will affect their overall XAT score as well.

XAT Cutoff Determining Factors
While preparing the XAT Cutoff 2025 several factors are taken into account. The most important factors taken into consideration are listed below.
Number of Applicants: The number of applicants who appear in the XAT Exam is the most important factor when determining the XAT Cutoff. The higher the number of candidates, the higher the cutoff range that can be expected.
Difficulty Level of the Exam: Another important factor is the difficulty level of the XAT Exam. The more difficult the exam, the lower will be the cutoff range.
Availability of Seats: The third factor is the availability of seats. If the seats are less, the XAT Cutoff will be higher to accumulate the best chunk of students. But if the number of seats is more, there are chances that the cutoffs will be lower in order to fill the seats.
Previous Year XAT Cutoff Trends: The past year cutoff trends are a crucial factor in determining the cutoff for the present year.
Average XAT Scores and Highest XAT Score: The cutoff range and marks for a particular year will also depend on the average and highest marks given for the XAT Exam in a particular year.
Check MBA Colleges Accepting the XAT Score
How will I know whether I have converted the XLRI interview call?
XLRI typically sends an email on the registered email ID to all the candidates who have converted the interview call and are selected for the admission process. Those who do not receive an email within a week or 10 days of the process, may consider that they have been rejected. Students should therefore keep an eye on their emails.
