XAT 2024 Expected Pattern:
The exam structure usually comprises two sections:
- Part I: (A) Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning (VA & LR), (B) Decision Making (DM), (C) Quantitative Aptitude & Data Interpretation (QA & DI)
- Part II: (A) General Knowledge (GK), (B) Analytical Essay Writing (AEW)
The number of questions in the XAT usually varies within the range of 100-105. Each section is expected to include between 22 and 30 questions. It is important to note that the General Knowledge and Essay sections will not impact the cutoff score, as their evaluation will only be considered during the interview stage. While these sections are integral to the overall process, they will not impact initial test results.
Beyond XLRI, XAT opens doors to esteemed Indian B-schools such as Loyola Institute of Business Management (Chennai), St Joseph's Institute of Management, IMT Ghaziabad, GIM Goa, Sri Balaji University, TAPMI Manipal, XIMB Bhubaneswar, and FORE School of Management (New Delhi).
XLRI has opted to modify the exam timings. The XAT 2024 exam will now be conducted in the afternoon from 2pm to 5.30pm, instead of the previous morning schedule of 9.30am to 12.40pm. The exam period will be 3 hours and 30 minutes.
