The XAT 2027 application correction window lets you fix errors in your submitted form, but certain fields — including your registered email ID and application number — are permanently locked and cannot be changed under any circumstances.
XLRI Jamshedpur opens a brief correction facility on xatonline.in after the main application deadline. This is your only opportunity to fix mistakes before the admit card is generated. Errors carried forward into the admit card can create serious problems at the document verification stage.
- The correction window is expected to open in November–December 2026, shortly after the application deadline.
- You can edit personal details, photo, signature, category, and programme preferences during this window.
- Your registered email ID and XAT application number are locked permanently after submission.
- Corrections are made by logging into your candidate dashboard on xatonline.in.
- No corrections are allowed after the window closes — review every field carefully before saving changes.

What is the XAT 2027 Application Correction Window?
The XAT application correction window is a short re-opening of the candidate portal that XLRI Jamshedpur offers after the regular application deadline passes. During this period, you can log back into your account on xatonline.in and make targeted edits to specific fields in your submitted form.
This facility addresses genuine typographical errors — a misspelled name, a wrong date of birth digit, or an incorrect category selection — that could cause mismatches at the document verification stage. XLRI does not offer any post-exam correction route, which makes the correction window the final opportunity to align your form with your original documents.
Based on previous XAT cycles, the window is typically open for 5 to 7 days and falls between the application deadline and the release of admit cards. Changes saved during this window are automatically reflected on your admit card.
XAT 2027 Correction Window: Fields You Can Edit
XLRI allows edits only to the specific fields listed below. Review every section of your application carefully during the window and avoid making unnecessary changes to fields that are already correct.
| Category | Editable Fields |
|---|---|
| Personal Details | Name (minor spelling corrections), date of birth, gender, nationality |
| Category and Reservation | Caste category (General / OBC / SC / ST / PwD) and supporting certificate details |
| Contact Details | Mobile number, postal address, city, state, and PIN code |
| Photo and Signature | Upload a revised passport-size photo or signature within the specified size and format limits |
| Educational Qualifications | Graduation marks, year of passing, university or college name, and degree name |
| Work Experience | Organisation name, designation, and total months of experience |
| Programme Preferences | XLRI and associate institute programme choices and order of preference |
| Test City Preference | Preferred exam city, subject to seat availability at the time of the change |
Even within editable fields, XLRI restricts the extent of change. Name corrections are limited to minor spelling fixes — a complete name replacement is not permitted. Similarly, test city changes depend on whether seats remain available at the new city.
XAT 2027 Correction Window: Fields You Cannot Edit
The fields below are permanently locked from the moment your application is submitted. No correction is accepted in these fields even during the official window, regardless of the reason.
| Locked Field | Why It Cannot Be Changed |
|---|---|
| Registered Email ID | Acts as your login credential and is linked to all official correspondence; changes would create a duplicate account risk |
| XAT Application Number | System-generated unique identifier; cannot be modified by any user or administrator |
| Payment Details | Transaction ID and fee confirmation are locked immediately after successful payment |
If your registered email ID has a critical typographical error, contact XLRI’s official helpdesk directly through the contact details listed on xatonline.in as early as possible. In past XAT cycles, such cases were handled manually by XLRI only in exceptional circumstances and required documentary proof.
How to Make Corrections in Your XAT 2027 Application
Use these steps to edit your XAT 2027 form during the correction window:
- Go to the official XAT portal at xatonline.in.
- Click on "XAT 2027 Login" or the candidate login section on the homepage.
- Enter your registered email ID and password to access your dashboard.
- Click on "Edit Application" or "Application Correction" — this option appears only while the correction window is active.
- Navigate to the section containing the field you need to fix.
- Make the required change and review all other fields before saving — accidental edits to correct information can create new errors.
- If updating your photo or signature, upload the revised file ensuring it meets XAT’s specified size and format requirements.
- Submit the corrected form. A confirmation email will be sent to your registered email ID.
- Download and save the revised confirmation page immediately for your records.
No additional fee is charged for using the correction window in standard cases. However, if your change increases the number of programme selections and raises your total payable fee, XLRI may require payment of the difference before the change is saved.
