Changing a perspective towards the number of non-attempted questions and negative marking, I think that this framework is only used to put aspirants under pressure. If you are not sure about the answer do not attempt it as it’s better to lose 0.05 marks rather than 0.25 marks.
Next, we come to the Part B of the examination, which contains questions on General Knowledge and Essay Writing. The scores of this part matter a lot as these marks are taken into consideration while your interview process at XLRI. For essay writing my suggestion would be to concentrate on quality rather than quantity.
Lastly, have a good sleep before the examination, don’t overthink during or before the examination and be clear with basic concepts.
Reach the exam centre 1 hour before the exam.
All the best for XAT exam guys.

At 98.69, why not XLRI/XIMB. Why IFMR?

Talking about XLRI, I applied for it but my waiting list number was 26 and was not able to convert it. Also my field of interest was in finance and IFMR provides one of the best finance courses in India and that's the reason I didn't opt for XIMB. Looking at the placement perspective too, IFMR provides excellent profiles for finance and financial engineering students and so finally I opted for IFMR to pursue my PGDM in Financial Engineering.
