How to Calculate XAT Percentile?

Unlike CAT, score normalization is not done in XAT as it is conducted in a single session. Hence, the percentile is used in XAT which can be calculated using the following formula:

Your XAT Rank/Total candidates x 100

For example, if your rank is 100 in XAT 2024 and 100,000 students participated, your percentile would be 90.
