"The format of XAT would remain pen-paper based. This is to ensure that candidates of all backgrounds are at par" XLRI Admission Chair

Last year, almost 90,000 students took the XAT exam, making it second most popular exam after CAT.

The test score will be used by XLRI and other XAMI institutions and also more than 100 other B-schools.

XAT 2015 Exam will be divided in four sections:

• Quantitative Ability
• English Language & Logical Reasoning
• Decision Making
• GK and Essay

Important XAT 2015 dates are: Date of Commencement of Application	12th August 2014
Last Date for Applying	22nd November 2014
Last Date to change Test City	26th November 2014
Downloading of Admit Cards	18th December 2014 - 31st December 2014
Date of Exam	4th January 2015

Giving the rationale for retaining the pen-paper method, XLRI said, “The format of XAT would remain pen-paper based. This is to ensure that candidates of all backgrounds are at par, so that those who have pre-familiarity of operating computers, specially coming from privileged background or having worked in IT sector, do not get any advantage over others who do not have access to computers. The paper-pen mode also ensures that all candidates are tested on exactly the same set of questions, and not on different sets.”

XAT exam test takers have grown significantly since 2011-12

Making a smart recovery since 2011, when 60,000 aspirants registered for XAT, number of registrations for XAT January 2014 increased to 89,000.
