Sectional cut-off refers to the minimum percentile fixed for each section of the Xavier Aptitude Test exam, as a cut-off that students have to meet. For example, if the Quantitative Aptitude cut-off is 85 percentile for Xavier Aptitude Test, that means a candidate must have scored 85 percentile or more in the Quantitative Aptitude section of the Xavier Aptitude Test to be eligible for Personal Interview shortlisting.

XAT doesn't have any sectional cut-off officially, but the score of each section is considered in the final selection process by different management institutes accepting XAT scores. However, candidates are advised to score well in all sections of the exam to increase their chances of getting admission to their desired management institute. It is also important to note that each institute accepting XAT scores may have its own set of criteria for selection, including sectional cut-offs or weightage given to each section. So, it's advisable to check with the individual institutes you are interested in to know their selection criteria.
