What's XAT you're talking about?

Tuesday · 7 Jan 03 · 08:15 PM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: General

I wrote the XAT exam (entrance test for XLRI Jamshedpur) on Sunday.  The XAT 2003 was different from the CAT and SCMHRD exams in that it didn't have any section based on Maths.  It had 200 questions divided into three timed sections.  The first one (started at 10 AM) was Verbal and Reading Comprehension, 80 questions and 40 minutes.  This was pretty easy and I answered almost all the questions.  The third section was of 30 minutes, with 60 questions on General Knowledge.  This was not so bad, I thought.  The second section however, was a totally different story.  This had 60 questions to be answered in 50 minutes, and it was very difficult!  Very complicated stuff, I just answered some 15-20 questions or so, and I am not 100% sure about any of them being right.  There was also an essay to be written in 15 minutes, the topic was "To do real service you have to add something that cannot be bought or measured - and that is integrity and sincerity" (Donald A. Adams).  I think I wrote that one OK.

The next two management exams I am writing are the FMS and NITIE exams, which will be on this Sunday and the next.
