XAT Score Calculation Process
Since XAT is conducted in a single session, there is no normalisation of marks. The XAT percentile is calculated from candidate's raw XAT score. To understand the XAT scoring process, first let’s look at the XAT marking scheme:
| XAT Marking Scheme 2026 |
|
|---|---|
| Right answer |
+1 mark |
| Wrong answer |
-0.25 marks |
| Unanswered questions |
0 marks |
| 8 consecutive unanswered questions |
-0.10 marks |
- For XAT score calculation, marks obtained in all the three sections (Verbal Ability, Decision Making & Quantitative Aptitude) are added
- GK score is not included in XAT percentile calculation. It is evaluated at the time of PI and Essay Writing round
- Qualifying candidates are then ranked according to total marks scored in XAT exam
- Each candidate’s rank is divided by the remaining number of test takers and then multiplied by 100 to arrive at the XAT percentile score
Let’s understand XAT percentile calculation with an example:
Suppose 80,000 students took the XAT test and a candidate's rank is 500. Therefore that candidate's XAT percentile will be:
79,500/80,000x100 = 99.375
