Xavier Admission Test (XAT) Conducted by XLRI, Jamshedpur

The Xavier Labour Relations Institute (XLRI), Jamshedpur conducts the Xavier Admission Test (XAT). The XAT is conducted for admission to Post-Graduate degree programmes in Management at XLRI, XIM, XISS, LIBA etc. XAT 2010 was more difficult than CAT or any other entrance last season. With the progressive negative marking, a few decision making caselets clubbed with a difficult logical reasoning section, the focus being on verbal logic rather than knowledge and an essay to be written at the end made it a mouth-watering proposition for any serious aspirant.

The total duration of XAT is two hours. The total number of question in XAT is 200. This test is divided into 3 sections.

1. Quantitative Aptitude & Data Interpretation: The data interpretation section in XAT 2010 can be best described in one word -un-do-able. With lengthy calculations and close options, these questions were better left unattended to considering that the rest of the section was pretty much do-able. Not much of a focus on heavy math concepts and pretty much everything could be done with a skill-set of basic formulae.
2. Logical Reasoning & Decision Making: The logical reasoning section is tough and takes time but the decision making section is subjective and might get you a larger number of incorrect answers in a short span of time. Nothing outrageously different from other management entrance tests.
3. Verbal Aptitude: This section, last year had a good mix of questions right from RCs, critical reasoning, FIJs, parajumbles, word usage, vocabulary and even an advertisement. The difficulty level was high and one had to be a bit cautious about the negative marking part and not overdo guesswork.
