Post the questions which you remember from the question paper
Is anybody thinking to drop a mail to xlri informing them about the mismangement, system issues and untrained invigilators who added more to the overall chaos? Gave exam with very low concentration :(
Is there anyone who use crtl+right to move to the right most word while typing your essay and hence exam shutdown?

Sabki technical glitches ki story sunkar ab apne centre par doubt hone lag gaya hai ki yahan glitches kyun nahi the. Kahin XAT ka naam bolkar koi aur exam to nahi le leyi apna?
BAT-2018, an entrance test organized by a leading B-School witnessed chaos and technical gltiches across the centres in the country. Ā There were two centres where the exam could not begin due to system issues and it was decided to re-conduct the exam for the students at this centre.Ā
But post the completion of the exam, Mr. XYZ, convenor of BAT-2018, recieved multiple emails frmo students across the country, detailing about their chaotic experience and requesting him to take a fair decision.Ā
What should Mr. XYZ do to ensure that he is fair to all the students who appeared for BAT-2018?Ā
I am sure that if this was a question in DM section, the correct answer would have been-
A. Re-conduct BAT-2018 for all the candidates at a later date and ensure a smooth and fair conduct of the exam the second time.Ā
#XAT2018 #Chaos
So are you planning to email XLRI to re conduct for all?

I am literally sorry in advance for this post.This is just a poll Ā and not meant to hurt anyone's sentiment and no biasing as well.
Many has complained on PG that everyone should post and comment in english as few are unable to understand hindi. That's totally fine. Your request is rational.Ā
So, to understand that closely and to just make it sure that there should not be any chaos amongst us, I would like to us,
Which region are you from and can you understand hindi?
- Other parts and No I canāt
- West/East and No I canāt
- South and No I canāt
- West/East and I can
- South and Yes I can
- North walo ko to aata he hai(exception accepted)

Considering XLRI isn't going to reschedule for everyone, is there any optimist out there, like me, hoping they bring the cut off (for BM) lower than 96 to compensate for the disaster?
- yes, please.
- Nahi, sirf Tu Akela hai

Is it just me or was there exasperating farrago of some shashi tharoor matrix level questions today?
What was the answer to the ''Dilettantism' question ?
any guess for cutoff for BM & HR ??
Xcellent Learning & Management Institute (XLMI) is a premier B school of Bindiya. Located in the industrial town of Damshejpur, XLMI has been churning out leading managers of the country for almost seventy years now. XLMI, known for its flagship program - MH (Management of Humans) has been conducting its entrance test High level Aptitude Test (HAT) in the offline mode till last year. However this year it was decided that HAT would be conducted in online mode and it was rechristened as Systematically Handled Aptitude Test (SHAT). Mr. Perfectionist was elected as SHAT convener. He was known for his exceptional vision as a leader and touted as futuristic by many. He ensured all the arrangements were in place and in time. He had also thought of conducting a training session for the invigilators of SHAT, so that they could be trained to handle any unforseenĀ circumstances and be trained on their role as an invigilator. However, Mr Perfectionist's training session couldn't see the light of the day due to other priorities and shortage of time.
Hoping for successful conduction of the test, albeit with minor glitches, Mr perfectionist wished his team luck, completely oblivious to the disaster that was lurking round the corner. On the test day, he started getting reports of registration error and various other failures. Soon after the commencement of the test, reports of major sytem failures and test blackouts started pouring in. Going in complete panic mode, akin to the students taking the test, he tried to do damage control. But the damage was already done. Recklessly planned and poorly executed SHAT became a chink in the armour of XLMI. Applicants were extremely unhappy with the primier B school's way of "managing" the test. Mr Perfectionist was deeply troubled over this whole fiasco. While not wanting to compromise on the fame of the institute, he wanted to take some actions that would rectify the mistakes. He was contemplating following options:
1. Apologise publicly and ensure that such a mistake doesn't gets repeated
2. Leave XLMI and start a Ā test providing platform
3. Blame the students and declare that the mishaps were a part of the test, to check students' endurance and temperament.Ā
4. Do nothing as XLMI will continue to attract hoardes of aspiring managers irrespective of the fiasco
5. Form a committee to take strict actions against all who are at fault and commit to no re-test policy.
You are to help Mr. Perfectionist in making this decision ethically. Select the best choice that would help him save the day.Ā
Sad to hear about the technical glitches that were encountered by you guys this year. XAT went online for the very first time in 2018. To me, XAT was the most transparent and efficiently conducted exam last season. XLRI went the extra mile by releasing the answers and then giving us sufficient time to report any discrepancy in our answer scripts in case we had any. I'm pretty sure what happened today has been brought to their notice and they are working on a solution right now. Hold tight, and best of luck to you all :)
2016 xat scores vs percentile??
Kisi ko koi idea hai kitne marks pe kitne percentile bante hain according to last year xat
XAT-2018 experience at Thadomal Shahani, Bandra,Mumbai.Ā
Well it's kind of a story to read for you all if you are imagining "WOW! bandra! Such high standards." I request all my friends to share their experience as well at same centre as i missed out on some funny ones i guess.
Chapter-1 : (Just random)I asked literally 10-15 people about where thadomal shahani is in nearby areas when i reach in the area nearby. People did not know where that college is, lol? I think it is quite famous college here.
Chapter-2: There were two lines for girls and boys for checking ID proofs and thats it. lol. I stayed in line for 30 min and nobody moved. Initially they(3 invigi after some time usmai se 1 kidhar toh gayab ho gaya) tried to act strictly for checking ID proofs but soon clock passes 9, they realized that it is getting messier so they allowed everybody inside and told to leave bags and other things at entrance gate only. lol?
Chapter-3: Nobody directed us where to go. Somebody whispered 2nd floor and everybody was running to second, somebody whispered 10th floor, remaining were running to 10th floor. Just following others blindly. I went to 2nd floor and then they told to go third floors as systems are full. After reaching 3rd floor, they told to enter any lab and grab PC. after some time they were literally directing like"Jaha jo bhi PC khaali mil raha hai wo pakdke baith jao." It was already 10:15AM when i got system. They initially started things with registrations and biometric, but it was already 9:58am so they told everyone that registrations will be done after exam.
Chapter-4: Ok so thats it! You could expect that much chaos at max, isn't it? But wait, "Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost." No instructions, no guidance from supervisor. I guess she only shouted around 10:20 am or so "Start the test." Some have already started test. Everybody was looking at each other for help in starting test. Even after test started, other supervisors continuosly visited lab for searching empty system as some have not got system to deliver test. Things kept happening every 15-20 min. For some people, system restared automatically, some have faced issues of automatic pc shutdown, for some there were issues with screen and like that. (5-6 i have witnessed in front of me. I know there will be lot after hearing post exam talks). Other supervisors entering lab shouting, cracking lame jokes about how they were managing exam smartly and all, chatting/murmuring with each others and like that. For my luck, i did not face any issue with my system. But a guy beside me was complaining about something for 15-20 min but nobody responded him so he got frustrated and went along with that. Even when part-A was over, no instructions about part-B, only login and password were given and you go by yourselves. I remember one girl,after the exam, complained to supervisor that her system restarted 5 times during exam so she should be given extra time. The supervisor shouted at her and told that it was her mistake and she should face consequences, wtf? She did not even register after that(you will understand this after reading chapter 5) and just left from the place just like that in tears. I also remember after 1 hour so a girl student came to our lab and she was alotted an empty system because her PC shutdown automatically and she was told to restart the test. Her face was frightned like anythings.
Chapter-5: Ok so that was end of test at around 1:45 or so. We heived a sigh of relief and were happy because finally things went at the end. But XAT was like"Let me tell you what is meant by frustration." Everybody was told to remain sitted for registrations. I, my friend beside and another guy was chatting over exam things for 30 min or so. After that they told us to go to 10th floor where line was starting from lab and it went down to 9th floor for registrations. Someone whispered registartions are also happening at 2nd floor so we and some of folks ran to 2nd floor where line was staring from 2nd floor and went to 4th floor. The corridor passages was like at max 2 people could stand side by side. No instructions by anyone. Later i came to know some of people even did not have invigilator sign on admit card so they were told to get it signed from anybody they could found anywhere(Any supervisor). How are we supposed to know who is who? Staff people were laughing sarcastically if you ask for help by saying"Muje nai pata. Kidhar se bhi sign karake lo. warna test nahi hoga tumhara." After entering 2nd floor lab, some people got registered successfully and still many faced issues so they were told to go 10th floor and get it done from there. Isn't it frustrating you stand in a long queue for 1 hour and after that they are telling sorry but you have to run to 10th floor. Also some were running from 10th floor to 2nd because same happned to them at 10th floor. Some were just believing rumours and running here and there. It was almost 3:15pm when i got success luckily and still there was long queue behind me. Building had only 2 lifts out of which 1 was working funnily. Doors were closing after 4-5 jerks and you could imagine what must have happend to other one in such chaos. I personally requested one madam over there to go outside and just tell others to remain in a line and update them, she replied"ek baar kiya maine start mai. Baar baar kya karna? Humne khana bhi nahi khaya?" I could understand their frustration but wth?Ā
6) Even girls were giving gaalis without feeling ashamed or like that in front of everybody. Guys were saying in front of staff xD. I have seen such things first time. Also i guess there were some issues with some of the questions. One i remember (23)2=529. It took me 5 min to realize whats wrong with that if you go with the flow of question. Interface was not cool i feel, as compared to CAT and SNAP. 5 minutes remaining message was running from top to bottom like a drop on glass. My mouse was not working well so it was fun to catch "OK" tab on that button. One thing was consistent throughout and that is no directions at all.
I expeceted XAT is much better and higer compared to CAT and baap of all and like that from others. Well this experience now kept me in doubt though. Wish best to others for result.
I urge everyone who faced the difficulty with the systems or any other tech glitch (apart from the two centres that have already been assigned for a reschedule) to drop a mail to XL stating the same and ask for a reschedule. The opportunity and the exam should be fair, no amount of scaling will justify the disproportionate time or attempts vested since this exam is way too different from CAT.
Who is the real culprit of today's mishap?
- None of the above
- Cannot be determined
- All of the above
- Multiple choices[where āmultipleā not equal to all]
- XAT Authorities
- Sify
- Test centre
- Exam browser jo har 10 minute mein score server mein update karta tha aur browser ko freeze karta tha

Guys and girls please use #rescheduleforall at all the social media platforms, so that all those who wrote the test in tough conditions get a chance to prove themselves again. I know all of us have invested a lot of time preparing for XAT, and we deserve a fair chance
