XLRI Jamshedpur has opened the XAT 2026 application correction window, allowing registered candidates to correct any errors in their forms. If you’ve already applied for the exam, you can now log in to the official website and update certain details.
The edit window will remain open until 9:00 AM on November 27, 2025, and only students who have submitted their forms earlier will be able to make changes. XLRI has also mentioned that some fields, like academic information, work experience, and a few personal details, can be edited. However, your registered email ID and mobile number will stay locked and can’t be changed.
At the same time, XAT 2026 registrations are still open for new applicants. Anyone planning to take the exam can complete their application until 5 December 2025. It’s a good idea to finish both registration and corrections early to avoid last-minute issues on the portal.
