'XAT 2014 scores will not be re-evaluated'

---

This year again, XAT candidates claim there is an issue with the evaluation of their XAT scores. Most allege that Set D has not been evaluated properly, while some have issues with Set C.
Candidates have been urging for a re-evaluation since the XAT results were announced earlier this week. It may be recalled that a similar cry last year led to a re-evaluation call of all XAT scores.
This year however, the ending is expected to be different. XLRI officials told PaGaLGuY that before the results were announced a thorough re-check was conducted with a different process just to make sure that there is no lapse in either of the processes. "And after the results were announced, we did another investigation since we received a few complaints," said an official. "Since we found no problems, we have decided not to re-evaluate of XAT 2014 results," the same official added.
Some candidates apparently wrote in to XLRI about their scores but they received individual replies which read like: The results have been checked again and no discrepancies found."
It is difficult at this point, to know which direction this movement will head, though in all likelihood this chapter will close. A point to be noted is that unlike the CAT exam, there is no normalisation process in XAT and hence less chance for a candidate to find his score way off his expectations. And considering that XLRI did re-evaluate its results once, it is quite capable of doing so again, had it found any loopholes in the complaints received so far.
While some candidates may have a genuine point, it could be that some others are simply hoping for a re-check given their not very impressive marks and so the push for a re-evaluation looks huge.
