The official website for the XAT 2027, xatonline.in, has been updated. XLRI Jamshedpur, the conducting body, announced the formal commencement of the XAT 2027 registration process.

XLRI Jamshedpur has officially announced that the registration process for the Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) 2027 commences on July 15. XLRI has announced that candidates who complete their registration on Day 1 will be guaranteed their first-choice test city. Confirmation of the allotted exam centre for these candidates will be shared by August 5, allowing students to plan their travel and preparations well in advance.

As one of India’s most prestigious management entrance examinations, XAT serves as the gateway for admissions to XLRI Jamshedpur and over 250 other leading B-schools across the country. Each year, the test attracts approximately 75,000 aspirants and is conducted in a single, standardized session across more than 100 cities nationwide, ensuring a consistent testing experience without the need for score normalization. For specialized admissions, the flexibility of the exam is further enhanced by its acceptance of alternative scores; Indian applicants can utilize GMAT or GRE results for specific PGDM programmes such as the General Management (GM) or the Double-Masters pathway in Supply Chain Analytics (LSCM), while NRI, Foreign, PIO, and OCI candidates are eligible to apply across all programmes using their GMAT scores.
