CAT will have a total of 100 questions visa vis 72 questions of XAT. Since, the number of questions are less within the same time frame, XAT. Difficulty level goes up. Replacing LR-DI with DM
The biggest difference. XAT has a section called Decision Making, where they give you a small case and ask questions based on that case. Its a typical case analysis with options (that's where it ges subjective). CAT has LR-DI section which have ballpoint answers. An Extra Section
XAT has GK + Essay Writing which CAT doesn't have. While this section isn't important for the first shortlisting criteria but may be important during the final conversion. Negative Marking
CAT has 1/3rd negative marking against 1/4th of XAT. But XAT has negative marking for unattempted questions too. If you leave more than 13 questions, you'll be awarded 1/20th negative mark for each question then.
