XAT

The lengthiest section in the XAT question paper is Part 1, which includes Verbal Ability and Logical Reasoning (VA & LR), Decision Making (DM), and Quantitative Aptitude and Data Interpretation (QA & DI). Part 1 has a total duration of 175 minutes, making it the longest among the three parts. Within this duration, candidates need to navigate through about 26 questions in VA & LR, approximately 22 questions in DM, and around 28 questions in QA & DI. The extensive time allocation to Part 1 indicates the significance and complexity of these sections, emphasizing the need for candidates to manage their time efficiently to address the varied question types and topics in this segment.

Because the XAT is a post-graduate course test, the minimum eligibility requirement is a bachelor's degree. There is no minimum graduation mark needed for XAT. All that is required of an applicant is a bachelor's degree or equivalent in any field from a university recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC). Students who are in their last year of their bachelor's degree or are awaiting their results are also eligible to take the XAT test. Working professionals with a bachelor's or master's degree, as well as those with professional degrees (CA/CS), are eligible to apply.

Candidates should keep in mind, however, that universities accepting XAT scores have graduation eligibility requirements of at least 50% (45% for Reserved category students).

This enables you to examine your strengths and weaknesses, become acquainted with the test format, and devise efficient time-management methods. Taking practice exams on a regular basis helps imitate actual testing situations, improves problem-solving abilities, and develops endurance for the lengthy exam. It also gives you insight into the sorts of questions offered on the XAT, allowing you to customize your preparation accordingly. Remember to evaluate your performance after each mock test to find areas for improvement and alter your study strategy as needed.
