XAT

Yes, Osmania University does accept XAT scores for admission to their MBA program. However, the cutoff for XAT scores can vary each year based on the number of applicants and the competition. For the academic year 2024-25, the cutoff for XAT scores is around 25-27 percentile.

It's always a good idea to check the latest notification on the Osmania University website or contact their admissions office for the most accurate and updated information.

In addition to CAT and XAT, SPJIMR accepts GMAT scores for admission to its Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) program. Candidates may submit GMAT scores that were obtained within the past three years. However, please note that SPJIMR does not consider XAT scores for its PGDM program. Eligibility criteria may differ for other specialised programs. Therefore, it is important to review the specific requirements for each programme on SPJIMR's official website to confirm that you fulfill all admission criteria.

EMPI Business School accepts multiple national-level management exams, including XAT, for admitting students to its PGDM courses. In 2024, the XAT cutoff percentile for admission to the PGDM in International Business course was 60 for the students belonging to the General AI quota. So, candidates seeking admission to this course must aim to target a cutoff percentile of more than 60 to improve their chance of getting a call from the school for admission. 

The expected CAT/XAT percentile for GLIM G is about 80+.

India Today Media Institute (ITMI) does not accept XAT scores. Instead, it conducts its own Admission Test, followed by group discussions, personal interviews, and essay writing. Candidates can apply online and pay the application fee of INR 1,200 and then go through the detailed application process.
