There is no single XAT 2027 cut off, because XLRI and every XAT-accepting institute set their own. XLRI announces interview cut-offs for its BM and HRM programmes after the result. For XAT 2026, the BM cut-off was reported as 94 percentile for men and 88 for women. Use these figures as the reference for XAT 2027.

- Download your XAT 2027 scorecard and note your overall and sectional percentiles.
- Check xatonline.in and xlri.ac.in for XLRI’s BM and HRM cut-off announcement.
- Compare your overall percentile and each sectional percentile with the cut-off for your programme, stream and gender.
- For other B-schools, check each institute’s admission page, because they publish their own cut-offs.

How have XLRI cut offs changed?
XLRI’s cut-offs came down from XAT 2025 to XAT 2026. The BM overall cut-off for men fell from 96 to 94 percentile and for women from 91 to 88. For HRM, engineer men needed 92 in 2026 against 95 in 2025.
XLRI keeps lower overall cut-offs for women, and for HRM it also sets lower QA cut-offs for non-engineers.
How do other institutes use XAT cut offs?
Every XAT-accepting institute decides its own cut-off and its own weightage for the XAT sections. XLRI has no role in their selection.
Check each institute’s admission policy for its minimum XAT percentile, and see our XAT 2027 result page for how scorecards and percentiles work.
