Admission to postgraduate management programmes at XIM University is governed by scores from four entrance tests: CAT, NMAT, XAT and OJEE. Percentile requirements differ sharply depending on which of these tests a candidate takes, so the same MBA seat can be reached through very different score profiles. The steepest bar sits with XAT, where the 2025 qualifying percentile stands at 90, while NMAT candidates need 40 and CAT candidates need 25.

What stands out across the four years of data compiled here is stability. Not a single course, category or year records a movement in closing percentile: the CAT figure has held at 25 from 2021 through 2024, NMAT has stayed at 40 over the same span, and XAT has remained fixed at 90 from 2022 through 2025. Category reservation does not shift the mark either, since General, OBC, SC, ST and EWS aspirants face an identical cutoff wherever category-level data exists.
