What is XAT 2026 Response Sheet?

The response sheet is basically a record of the answers candidates have marked during the XAT 2026 exam. The response sheet consists of all the questions attempted and the corresponding responses marked for each question. The response sheet helps candidates calculate their probable XAT 2026 score.

The XAT 2026 response sheet does not provide the correct answers to the questions, as these will be released later through the XAT 2026 final answer key. However, candidates can estimate how well they have performed by matching their responses with the correct answers once the official answer key is released.
