XAT 2019: Live Chat with XLRI Officials – 28th Nov 2018 | PaGaLGuY

Will GK be included in the overall percentile calculation or will it be given separately?

In the work experience part, since I am currently working, I included the date on which I filled the form while it was mentioned that exp till 31st March 2019 will be counted. Does it mean that we had to put 31 st march as the end date? I thought that would be an overstatement

How many questions will be exempt from penalty for unattempted questions? 

Will there be any negative marking for General Awareness questions (for incorrect/unattempted questions)?

Sir, I have applied for GMP through GMAT. But the application form did not require essays and LOR/ references. My question is how are you going to evaluate the potential of the candidate ?

Will the sectional breakup of questions remain the same as last year?

GK Marks would be considered for first stage shortlisting? As in calculating the overall percentiles for giving out the shortlists?

Or would they be just considered during GDPI stage? 

Please clarify.

Do we have sectional time limits? If yes how much will be alotted to each? As the total time is 3 hours and there are 4 sections

Is there any change in overall pattern as compared to the last year's exam?

Please share of any new changes that we students might be unaware of.

Like last year there was a change in cutoffs for girl student and boy student, presumably on the account of diversity. I welcome this move by XL.

Please do share any progress related changes in cutoffs or say maybe on the similar lines if there would be different cutoffs for XL programs based on Bachelors education stream etc. The reason to ask, is we do not wish to keep anything on the 'surprises' or 'shock' value when it comes to XL. Thanks


Can the exlink students possibly be conducting more events related to XAT examination prep for making XAT a more level playing field for students from non engineering background? I am aware of the youtube videos that are being uploaded, but if possible, kindly do consider this as a polite request to hold more regular events till XAT for the prep. To ensure more varied perpectives in the classroom of tomorrow, this would help them overcome the troublesome engineer-quant duo and secure the shortlist. Thank you!


Can we switch between the sections at any time in the exam?

Will there be screen calculator?

Can some can help me with Magoosh gmat account

Will xlri always remain in shadow of IIM ABC FMS and jbims?
