The phrase “results likely soon” in the original headline is out of date. This page records the 2025 timeline so you can check the dates against the official schedule.
Current status of XAT 2025
XAT 2025 is a completed cycle. The exam was held on January 5, 2025, and the answer key and result were both published that month. The official XAT website now presents the XAT 2027 cycle, so a 2025 page that promises results “soon” no longer matches what candidates will find there.

Key dates for the 2025 cycle
The table separates the schedule published by XLRI Xavier School of Management from the dates that contemporaneous news reports gave for what actually happened.
| Event | Date | Basis | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| XAT 2025 exam | January 5, 2025 | Held on this date | XLRI Xavier School of Management, XAT 2025 Bulletin |
| Answer key released | January 10, 2025 | Reported release date | Hindustan Times, January 10, 2025 |
| Result date (scheduled) | January 31, 2025 | Date listed in the official bulletin | XLRI Xavier School of Management, XAT 2025 Bulletin |
| Result declared (actual) | January 17, 2025 | Reported actual announcement | Hindustan Times and Careers360, January 17, 2025 |
| Scorecard download window | January 31 to March 31, 2025 | Period listed in the official bulletin | XLRI Xavier School of Management, XAT 2025 Bulletin |
Why the scheduled and actual result dates differ
The official bulletin listed January 31, 2025 as the result date. Reports from January 17, 2025 say XLRI announced the result on that earlier date. Treat January 31 as the planned date and January 17 as the date the result was reported as published. If you are citing the 2025 result date, use January 17, 2025 for the actual announcement and mention the bulletin date only as the original schedule.

How candidates accessed the answer key and scorecard in 2025
Reports on the answer key said candidates could check it through the XAT portal at xatonline.in using their login credentials. The result reports said scorecards were also available through the same portal. These were time-bound resources tied to the 2025 cycle. The scorecard window closed on March 31, 2025, so the 2025 scorecard is no longer available for download.
