Questions
Our XAT card checks applications.xatonline.in, where candidates log in, and counts reports from MBA aspirants. Lots of reports within a few minutes point to a fault at XAT's end. If one page fails for you alone, check your browser and network.
Most trouble comes on busy days, like the last week of registration and admit card day.
- Registration, login and the application form run on applications.xatonline.in. It can fail while xatonline.in still opens.
- Your email ID and mobile number cannot be changed after registration. Log in with the registered ones only.
- Registration for XAT 2027 closes on 6 December 2026. After that the form will not open.

Rs 2300 for XAT. Add Rs 200 for each XLRI programme you choose.
Pay by debit card (RuPay, Visa, Mastercard, Maestro), credit card, net banking, IMPS, cash cards or mobile wallets. An e-Receipt on screen means the payment went through.
Check for the e-Receipt first. No e-Receipt means XAT counts the payment as failed.
- Log in again with your registered email ID and password.
- Pay once more, with another card, net banking or browser if needed.
- If it still fails, raise a query through 'Any Query? Ask Us' on your dashboard and attach a screenshot of the error. If money left your account, add the bank reference.
Never press back or refresh while the payment is processing. That can charge you twice.
