XAT

To be eligible for admission to Delhi School of Business, a minimum of 80 percentile in CAT is required. We also accept MAT and XAT scores, with a minimum of 75 percentile in MAT and 70 percentile in XAT required for admission. However, it is important to note that the cutoff percentile is not the sole criterion for admission to our PGDM program. Admission is based on a holistic evaluation of candidates, which includes factors such as academic performance, work experience, and performance in the selection process conducted by the institute. We encourage you to focus on your overall profile and prepare for the selection process accordingly. Good luck!

Preparation for the Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation section of the XAT To crack this section of XAT you need to be thorough with the concepts and theorems. So, practice well. Solve the same Quantitative Ability section at least thrice to understand the application of the concept. After solving every question from Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation, tally your answer with the given solution and analyze the logic behind that answer. Once, you know the concept and its application well, all you need is a practice to improve speed. DI requires the practice of a range and variety of sample questions.

Preparation strategic approach for the XAT:
1- Join study groups online on platforms.
2- Get hold of XAT books and study material. These are available online and at coaching institutes.
3- Start with topics you are already familiar with and over which you have good control.
4- After completing a topic or a concept, always solve two-three problems based on it to know if you have completely understood it.
5- Focus on completing the XAT syllabus first and then move to solving XAT mock tests. Practice at least 30-35 mock tests for best performance. For more details, you may visit the Shiksha XAT exam page. (https://www.shiksha.com/mba/xat-exam). I hope this will help you.

Major part of your preparation is done once you prepare for CAT rest all exams have their own pattern and way of asking questions so we need to just add on some things based on that particular exam like
XAT- Decision making is a new section to deal with
SNAP- Vocabulary and grammar, some add on topics in logical reasoning like clocks, calendars, verbal reasoning etc. IIFT more about calculation and vocabuary again plus the questions are very lengthy in IIFT so get used to extracting the data fast from question
NMAT- Vocabulary and verbal reasoning, 50% of Logical skills section is verbal reasoning
So you just need to make these small modifications for each exam once your core preparation is over.
