The answer key for the XAT(Xavier Aptitude Test) is given out by XLRI Jamshedpur two to three days after the test.

Candidates will be able to object to any or all of the XAT answer keys if they think they are wrong. The person in charge of the XAT exam will look into the objection, and if it is valid, the XAT answer key will be changed.

  • Questions not attempted

How to Beat the 2023 XAT Answer Key

Send an email to admis@xlri.ac.in with “Objections to XAT Answer Keys” in the subject line.

The following information should be put in the email:

  • XAT ID Name Question ID
  • What you don’t like about a question and its answer
  • Proof that your objection is valid

XAT Marking Scheme

The XAT test has a total of 100 points. Check out the table below to learn how the XAT is scored:

  • The XAT question paper is worth 100 points, and each correct answer is worth one point. Let’s look at how the XAT is scored to figure this out:
  • There are 100 questions in all.
  • The XAT has a total of 100 points.
  • For every right answer, one point is given.
  • For every wrong answer, 0.25 points are taken away.
  • After not answering eight questions in a row, you lose 0.10 points for each question you didn’t answer.
  • In the General Knowledge section, there are no points taken away.
  • The General Knowledge section is not taken into account when figuring out your percentile.
  • The Essay Writing question won’t be taken into account when figuring out the raw score and percentile (XAT score)
  • Based on the above scoring system, if a candidate tries to answer about 85 out of 100 questions and gets 75 right and 10 wrong, his overall XAT score will be 75 – (1-0.25%x10) = 82.5.

How to Figure Out Your XAT Percentile?

The formula to calculate the XAT percentile is:

((Number of candidates – Rank of a candidate) / Number of candidates) * 100 

Look at the example given below: Imagine that 100,000 people took the XAT exam and that A had the highest raw score. It means that 99,999 people didn’t get an A. 

Then-candidate A’s XAT percentile will be 99.9, which is 99,999/100,000×100.

Final Answer Key for the XAT 2023

Once all of the objections have been sent to the exam authority, each of them will be looked at. If any of the candidates’ complaints are found to be true, the XAT 2023 answer key will be changed and put out as the final answer key again. The XAT 2023 final answer key will be used to figure out the exam results, and no one will be able to argue against it. The final XAT answer key for 2023 will be available on the exam website for candidates to download.

If no valid objection is found, the final answer key for the XAT(Xavier Aptitude Test) 2023 won’t be released, and the results will be based on the answer key that was already out.
