Scoring a mere 17 marks in XAT, your chances of selection in the best B-schools are really bleak. The cutoff expected in most of the top B-schools including XLRI, XIMB and IMT ranges between 30-40 marks.

Hii, The difficulty of XAT, CAT, or CMAT depends on individual aptitude and preparation, but generally:
- CAT: Considered the toughest, with high competition and emphasis on VARC, DILR, and Quant.
- XAT: Moderate, with an additional Decision-Making section and essay writing, testing analytical thinking.
- CMAT: Comparatively easier, with a straightforward structure and questions.
For Assam University, CMAT might be an easier option if you are less comfortable with tougher sections like those in CAT or XAT. Check their official admission criteria for score preferences.
Thanks.

No, a college ID card is not considered valid for identity verification in the XAT 2025 exam. Acceptable documents typically include a government-issued photo ID such as an Aadhaar card, PAN card, voter ID, passport, or driving license. Ensure your ID is original, valid, and matches the name on your XAT application. Carry the same document mentioned during your application process to avoid complications on exam day.
