The Xavier School of Management (XLRI) has successfully conducted the Xavier Aptitude Test or XAT 2022 on January 02. Right after the conclusion of the exam, various coaching institutes and Management experts have started releasing the answer keys and the exam analysis videos on various platforms including YouTube. However, the main question that has been baffling the candidates is the result declaration date and the availability of the official answer keys.
Result Date
As per the official bulletin available on xatonline.in, the XAT result 2022 will be declared on January 31, 2022. Candidates will be able to check the same from the candidate login portal of the same website by entering their XAT ID and date of birth. Now, regarding the scorecards, the bulletin says that the candidates will be able to download their scorecards between January 31 and March 31, 2022.
Official Answer Key
XLRI may take some time to release the answer keys. However, in 2021, the answer keys were made available five days after the exam was held. XAT 2021 took place on January 03, 2021, while the answer keys were released on January 08, 2021. Going back to 2020, the XAT exam was conducted on January 05, 2020, while the answer keys were made available on January 09, 2020. However, in 2019, it took some time to release the answer keys for XAT. The exam was conducted on January 06, 2019, but the response sheet containing the answer key was released on January 12, 2019.
| Year | Exam Date | Answer Key Release Date | Difference |
| 2021 | January 03 | January 08 | 05 days |
| 2020 | January 05 | January 09 | 04 days |
| 2019 | January 06 | January 12 | 06 days |
Taking cues from these trends, it can be expected that the official answer keys for XAT 2022 will be released within 04 to 06 days from the examination date. In that case, candidates can expect the official answer keys between January 06 and January 08, 2022.
Response Sheet

The exam was held on January 03, 2021, while the answer keys were released on January 05, 2021. In 2020 also, the examination took place on January 05, 2020, while the response sheet was released on January 07, 2020. Similarly, in 2019 as well, the exam was held on January 06, 2019, while the response sheet was released on January 12, 2019.
