Candidates cannot select a specific test centre for XAT exam, but they can choose six test city preferences from a drop-down menu during registration. Authorities allot XAT centres based on these preferences on a first-come, first-serve basis.
XAT is conducted in approximately 79 to 80 cities across India. Candidates can select up to two preferred cities for their exam centre allotment while filling XAT application form.

After fee payment, an acknowledgement page generates a unique XAT ID. The screen displays 'payment successful', and XLRI will send a confirmation email and SMS
No. XAT application fee cannot be refunded. If a candidate makes a mistake during registration, or if they fail to appear for the exam, registration fee is not refunded.

Candidates can edit the form using the 'EDIT' option only before submitting it. Once the exam fee is paid and the form is submitted, there is no provision for XAT form correction. XLRI may facilitate a window to edit application form after submitting the same.
