XAT 2025 Pattern Changes
The XAT administration has announced key updates to the 2025 test format. These changes aim to streamline the examination process and better assess the core competencies needed for management and leadership roles.
XAT 2025: Key Updates
- Integration of Analytical Essay Writing (AEW) with GD & PI: The AEW component will now be conducted during the Group Discussion and Personal Interview (GD/PI) stages, rather than as part of the exam.
- Revision in General Knowledge Section: The General Knowledge section will consist of 20 questions, reduced from 25. This will include 12 current affairs questions and 8 from static GK, balancing awareness of current events and foundational knowledge.
- Adjustment of Exam Timings: The XAT 2025 will be split into two parts. Part One will last 170 minutes, while Part Two, focusing solely on General Knowledge, will be 10 minutes long. The total exam duration is 180 minutes.
These changes aim to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of XAT as a tool for selecting candidates for management programmes. Candidates are advised to check the official XAT website for further details and updates.
