XLRI Jamshedpur has opened registration for the Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) 2027, with the last date to apply set for December 6, 2026. Candidates can submit their forms online at xatonline.in. The standard application fee is Rs 2,300, with an additional Rs 200 for each XLRI programme selected.

The entrance exam will be held on January 3, 2027, from 2 PM to 5 PM. Admit cards are tentatively scheduled for release on December 20, 2026. Applicants must hold a recognised bachelor's degree of at least three years, final-year students may also apply.
Candidates are advised to verify all details before submission, as no edits are allowed after payment. The confirmation page and payment receipt should be saved for future reference.
The announcement gives prospective MBA and PGDM applicants just over a month to complete the XAT 2027 application process. With a December 6 deadline and admit cards expected on December 20, candidates face a compressed timeline for logistics such as selecting exam cities and arranging test-day travel. The Rs 2,300 base fee, plus Rs 200 for each extra XLRI programme, means applicants targeting multiple courses should budget accordingly. XLRI has not stated whether the exam date or admit card schedule may shift, leaving candidates to watch for any updates on the official portal.
