    XAT 2026 Marks for 90 percentile: How to Calculate

    To see how many marks are required for 90 percentile in the XAT 2026 exam, candidates must understand the XAT exam marking scheme. The XAT 2026 score is calculated based on the number of correct answers and incorrect answers. Candidates can go through the following steps to understand how the XAT 2026 score will be calculated.

    • 1 mark will be awarded for each correct answer.

    • A deduction of 0.25 marks will be made for every wrong answer.

    • 0.10 marks will be deducted for each unattempted question after 8 skipped questions.

    For example, if a candidate answers 60 questions correctly and 20 incorrectly and left 15 questions unanswered, then their total marks will be as follows,

    (60x1) - (20x0.25) - [(15-8)x 0.10)] = 54.3

    While the XAT 2026 percentile will be calculated based on the scores and ranking of the candidates who appeared for the XAT 2026 exam. Here is how one can calculate the XAT percentile.

    XAT Percentile = [(N- Rank) / N] X 100

    (N= number of candidates who appeared for the exam)
