XLRI was the first college that opened up under the Xavier banner. Many more colleges have opened since then under the same banner, which include XIME, XIMB, XISS, etc. For XLRI, you can only apply through XAT and GMAT. For the other colleges that you have mentioned, you can apply through CMAT as well. All the best!
