XAT

Detailed guidelines will be mentioned in the XAT admit card. Here are a few general guidelines for you to know:

• Candidates are supposed to be at the centre at least an hour before the commencement of exam. Reach the XAT exam centre at the reporting time mentioned on the admit card.
• Affix your recent passport size photo in colour with preferable white background on the admit card.
• Do not carry electronic items, valuables and bags to the exam centre. These items are prohibited.
• Carry two copies of the XAT admit card and the original copy of a valid ID proof such as Aadhaar card, Voter ID card, Passport, PAN card, Driving License or University ID card.
• After entering the test lab, locate your seat and computer system. Do not start the computer system until the invigilator makes an announcement for the same.

At the examination centre, candidates will have to undergo identification process which will include frisking and examination of documents. Along with the two original copies of the XAT admit card with passport size photo affixed, candidates must carry any one of the following photo IDs:

• Aadhaar Card
• E-Aadhaar card
• Voter ID card
• Passport
• ·Driving License
• University ID card

Candidates must also carry a few copies of their passport size photo (preferably the same as uploaded in the XAT application form). PwD candidates must carry relevant certificates such as PwD affidavit and scribe certificate for appearing in the exam and availing the facilities provided to them.

In case a candidate is not carrying the relevant document, they will not be allowed to enter the examination centre. Candidates should thoroughly read exam related guidelines mentioned on the XAT admit card so that they don’t miss out on anything.

There is no provision to change the test centre after the XAT admit card has been released. You can change your XAT test centre only once at the time of filling up the XAT application form. Once submitted, the XAT application form is not editable. There is no other way a candidate can change the test city option. They will have to appear for the exam in the city and at the test centre mentioned in their XAT admit card. They cannot even seek entry in another test centre for appearing in the exam. Insisting on doing so may get them disqualified.

Thus, candidates must fill the test city options in the XAT application form very carefully or arrange for travel and stay in the city where you have been allotted the exam centre.

XAT application form filling process includes three steps – online registration, application form filling and payment of fees. Candidates have to complete all these three steps before the deadline to be eligible for appearing in the XAT exam. Check below a brief description of how to fill the XAT application form.

Candidates have to option to select two cities for allotment of XAT exam centre. The exam is held in 79 cities across India and you can choose any two cities as per your choice. While selecting the test cities for exam centre allotment, candidates must note the following:

• Select your home city or the city of your current residence as your first city of preference.
• Select the second city of preference as the one to which you can easily make arrangement of travel and stay in case you are allotted a centre there.
• The exam authorities strive to allot the exam centre in the city of first preference.
• At the same time, they have the right to cancel an exam centre in case there is not enough number of students or due to any other unforeseen situation.

To edit information entered in the XAT application form, candidates need to choose the 'EDIT' option and click on save option to make changes. Candidates can choose 'EDIT' option only before submitting the XAT form not after that. Candidates must a take fresh print out of the duly filled XAT application form after modifying any details. There is no provision of form correction in XAT, unlike other MBA entrance exams where candidates are given a window of 2-3 days to edit their form, XAT has no such provision. So, candidates need to ensure that they fill the right entries and if required make the changes before fee payment or form submission. Once the form is submitted they cannot edit it. They will have to fill another form and pay the exam fee again.

However, incase it is extremely necessary, then candidates can raise a query at 'Any Query? Ask Us' option on their XAT dashboard.

Candidates can apply for XLRI Delhi's Business Management programme on the official website by selecting the course and campus option while filling the XAT application form which is released in the first week of August every year. If they do not mention XLRI Delhi has their preferred exam in the XAT application form, they will not be eligible for admission to the institute. Candidates must remember that there is no separate application form for XLRI PGDM programmes, so they need to make the selection of institute in the XAT application form only. There is no option to edit the field in the form later so candidates must mention the institute in the XAT application form. There is no provision of filling the admission form after the exam or after result announcement.
