Overview
- XLRI has posted candidate response sheets for XAT 2026 on xatonline.in, accessible after login with registered credentials.
- Media reports differ on the provisional answer key’s status, with some noting an active link and others indicating release within a week.
- A short objection window of about two to three days will allow challenges to the key, with supporting documents and a fee required per objection.
- Candidates can estimate raw scores using the scheme of +1 for correct, 0 for unanswered, −0.25 for incorrect, no GK negative marking, and −0.10 for eight consecutive blanks.
- Results are expected later in January 2026, with some outlets pointing to mid‑month, and no score normalization applies because the exam ran in a single shift.
