The Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) is probably the second most important MBA entrance exam after CAT. Though SNAP and NMAT compete very closely with XAT in terms of the number of people writing the exam, the fact that XLRI Jamshedpur (which is in the top 5 management institutes in the country) and a few other institutes select students ONLY on the basis of XAT, makes this exam a coveted exam to crack.
Gaurav is pursuing his MBA in Marketing from Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneshwar(XIMB) and is currently in 1st year. He is a knowledge seeker and keeps himself updated about happenings in the entrepreneurial world. He likes to address queries of MBA aspirants and help them in their MBA preparations.
It's that time of the year again. Decembers. Winters. The happy Christmas feeling. You're all done with CAT and all the other MBA examinations. It doesn't matter if they went well or if you screwed up. The only thing that matters right now is that you've reached the last lap of the race which started a year back when you decided to go for an MBA. Just a few more weeks remain for the 'baap' of all MBA examinations, XAT. So buckle up, hold on tight cause this last lap will be one hell of a ride.

I applied for XAT after the debacle in CAT and like always it was last few days left to apply. After sensing the pattern of XAT in 2015 and thereafter my performance I was in no mood to apply for XAT 2016. But since it was my last attempt for MBA, I decided to take a chance and with heavy heart parted with application fees. Since I had taken 2 weeks off from office before CAT so joining back meant lot of work was waiting for me. I could not spare any time for special preparation of XAT apart from practicing previous year question papers. Although I continued with my habit of reading newspaper in office during breaks. In between, IIFT results were out and seeing my name in interview list was a sigh of relief. So remaining time left before XAT was spent in filling IIFT behavioral questions and office.
