Scores Vs Percentile in XAT Exam
For the last couple of years, XAT has asked only 74 questions. You can check more information about the XAT Paper Pattern here. Even before that, the number of questions has hovered in the 70s. So, in the table below I am not only giving you the number of questions (or marks) that you need to get but also the percentages. The assumption is that every question carries 1 mark.
| Actual Marks | Percentage Marks | Percentile |
| 32-33 | 45 | 95 |
| 28-29 | 40 | 90 |
| 25-26 | 35 | Early 80s |
| 22-23 | 30 | Early 70s |

XAT – Sectional Cutoffs
Some of the colleges have sectional cutoffs when you are applying via the XAT exam. However, unlike CAT – in XAT the sectional cutoffs are on the lower side (closer to 80 %ile). The only college that has a higher sectional cutoff is XLRI. That too is specific only to the Business Management programme. Here you need 90 %ile in the Quantitative Aptitude section. For the others, it is still 80. This tells us another important thing that XLRI cares a bit more about Quant scores than the other sections.
| Section | Percentile | Marks |
| Verbal | 80 | 6-7 |
| Decision Making | 80 | 8-9 |
| Quantitative Aptitude | 80 | 7-8 |
| Quantitative Aptitude (XLRI – BM) | 90 | 9-10 |
| General Knowledge (XLRI) | ~ | 6-7 |
