This blog is highly focused on the XAT examination which is considered as the gateway to the prestigious XLRI Jamshedpur who is better known for its Human Resource Management program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now the important question arises &#8211; how to enter in such prestigious management institutes like XLRI Jamshedpur?. The answer is XAT exam, which is widely known as the basic eligibility criteria to sit for the interviews of Xavier Labour Relations Institute, Jamshedpur and other top B-schools who are widely accepting XAT scores. The XAT exam pattern is a bit different from the Common Admission Test but people who have already prepared for CAT and other competitive exams will need to do some minute changes to ace this. The XAT exam is conducted on the first Sunday of January. With the XAT 2026 exam being just a few months away, it\u2019s time to start formulating the XAT strategy effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14774\"

The XAT exam pattern has been changed since the XAT 2022 exam. The total time duration for the exam now is 3 hours or 180 minutes with two parts.\u00a0 The part 1 covers the Quantitative Ability &amp; Data Interpretation, Decision Making, Verbal &amp; Logical Ability which covers 170 minutes with no sectional time limit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The part 2 covers the General Knowledge that needs to be completed in a time duration of 10 minutes.\u00a0 The total number of questions are 95 and it is MCQ type questions with 5 options to choose from. Moreover, you will be allowed to move from part 1 to part 2 only after completing part 1 of the exam. Only part 1 will be calculated for percentile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Get the Best <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/xat-coaching\"><b>XAT Coaching<\/b><\/a><b> full course<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A new type of Numerical Answer Type (NAT) questions have been introduced wherein the candidates would have to use a virtual keypad to enter the numerical answer.

XAT Strategy: <span style=\"color: #800080;\">Verbal and Logical Ability<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This section is a combination of the VARC and the LR portion of the CAT exam. There will be around 26 total questions. Approximately 4 passages are given in this section, 14-16 questions will be asked on the basis of RCs. The verbal ability questions range from 8-10.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to a daily newspaper and\/or a weekly news magazine. After developing a regular reading habit, you can now start focusing on your speed. Various online sites can determine your reading speed. RCs require more practice in your reading skills. Start by solving 1\u20132 RCs a day and then gradually them after you start gaining confidence. Try to analyze the tone and the passages. It will eventually come with time. Practice as many previous year&#8217;s papers for the verbal section as you can. Practice as many previous year&#8217;s papers for the verbal section as you can.<\/p>\n<p>The best XAT strategy for this section would be to put your CAT VARC preparation to use. The passages are way smaller than CAT and often the passages constitute poems. Sometimes, that makes it hard to comprehend. The vocabulary will be put to the test in this section through passages and through the other VA questions which include fill-in-the-blanks with the right choice of words, grammar questions, synonyms, antonyms, and other vocabulary tests. There would be questions from Paragraph Jumbles, Paragraph Completion, Critical Reasoning, Statements-Assumptions, etc. The paper would not consist of difficult sets of LR but the level of Verbal ability would be higher than CAT.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_XAT_Strategy_Decision_Making\"><\/span><strong>2. <\/strong><strong>XAT Strategy: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Decision Making<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Decision Making often called Business Decision Making is a section that would be new for the candidates. This is a section that has scenarios of business problems or HR problems and tells you to choose the best option or order the options from most effective to least effective to solve the problem given in the question. It consists of 7 to 8 passages that have 2-3 questions each. The total number of questions is 21. The XAT strategy for this section is more or less practicing the old set of papers as there is no syllabus for this section. In the XAT 2025, using the logic of the question, not your own interpretation helps. Solving Decision-making questions through the lens of Law and practicing lots of questions from the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/test\/xat-previous-papers\">past year&#8217;s papers <\/a><\/span>is an important part of your XAT strategy.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_XAT_Strategy_Quantitative_Ability_and_Data_Interpretation\"><\/span><strong>3. <\/strong><strong>XAT Strategy: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This section consists of the Quantitative Ability as well as Data Interpretation Questions. There would be 3-4 DI sets and the rest would be Quants. The total number of questions is 28. The Syllabus for Quants and DI would be similar and of the same level as CAT. This section might not need additional preparation. Just more and more practice will sort it out.<\/p>\n<p>To start your XAT preparation for Quantitative Skills, make sure you start from the very basics. Begin with focusing on calculation. Practice speed maths and Vedic maths.<\/p>\n<p>Start preparing from the elementary level Mathematics and then work your way up to the tougher questions. Here at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iQuanta.in\">iQuanta<\/a>, both Live and Conceptual classes are conducted so that the students can learn the concept behind a topic and then apply them to the questions. Try to not rely on the calculator for basic calculations.<\/p>\n<p>There are two approaches to solving a question: general and shortcut way. If you apply the general method, you will not be able to solve all the questions in time. Also, you can solve by using options, but it only works when you have practiced lots of questions and have a clear idea of doing it through options. Solve as many questions from every topic, and try to be familiar with all the types of questions by practicing lots of varieties.<\/p>\n<p>All you can do for the DI preparation is to practice as many sets as possible. Solve as many previous year papers as possible and appear for mocks. This will help you gain familiarity with the level of the XAT exam and what you\u2019re going to deal with.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_XAT_Strategy_General_Knowledge\"><\/span><strong>4. <\/strong><strong>XAT Strategy: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>General Knowledge<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The list of topics covered in the XAT GK section of the XAT exam is limitless. For the purpose of calculating the percentile, GK scores are not taken into account. This portion, however, cannot be disregarded. During the PI time, the interviewers examine your grades. You must thus think of it as embracing all the crucial subjects that were examined in the study of prior years.<\/p>\n<p>This is a section of 10 mins where anything and everything can come. It would be from various kinds of current affairs, news, trivia, history, important past events, business etc. People normally spend the least amount of effort on the preparation of this section but it is important that you have a decent score in this section as the professors interviewing you might judge you on this score. The correct XAT strategy for the GK would be practicing more and more from old papers and mock tests.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Cut-offs_and_XAT_Strategy\"><\/span><strong>The <span style=\"color: #800080;\">Cut-offs<\/span> and XAT Strategy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the key factors of this exam is the sections are not time-bound and you can move across sections. Now, people who are strong in a particular section end up spending more time in that section. So, while they meet the overall cut-off of a particular program, they might fall short on the sectional cut-off. Make sure your XAT strategy helps you make the best out of this. A lot of people fall short of the DM cut-off as they pay less importance to the section or they make too many errors. While the section you find easiest should be done the earliest, a substantial amount of time should be given to the other sections as well. <strong>It is suggested that aspirants should write as many mocks as they can in order to judge how much time to give to each section in order to clear the cut-offs of each section. <\/strong>The cut-off goes till 96 because a lot of students in that range fail to meet the sectional cut-offs.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em><strong>Practice is the Key<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The most crucial part of your XAT strategy is to practice. While not much time is usually left after CAT to prepare for XAT, the students need to practice as much as possible. Taking at least 10 mock tests would help the students understand how the pattern is and how he\/she can strategize to ace the exam. Once you know how the pattern is and how to work through it, XAT can be aced nicely. Also, people who often falter in the CAT exam find a breather in XAT and many of them end up getting XLRI to shortlist while they could not manage a good score in CAT. So, the key is not to get demoralized if you have had a poor CAT exam. Also, the CAT results are often timed just before the XAT exam. Keep it in mind that XAT is just another test if you aced CAT already or another lifeline if you faltered in CAT. Do not let the CAT result bother you and ruin this opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-prepare-for-xat-2026\"><strong>Where To Prepare For XAT 2026?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While planning your XAT strategy, it is also important to keep in mind the sources you&#8217;re preparing from.

There are many candidates who have started their management journey by giving the CAT (Common Admission Test) but due to intense competition very few candidates are able to make it. The best possible way further to approach the top management institutes in India like XLRI Jamshedpur is XAT examination. This exam is slightly easier in comparison to CAT but this exam requires a proper preparation strategy to get good scores.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/xat-coaching\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-10-at-11.33.02-AM-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-10-at-11.33.02-AM-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-10-at-11.33.02-AM-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-10-at-11.33.02-AM-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-10-at-11.33.02-AM-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-10-at-11.33.02-AM-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-10-at-11.33.02-AM-420x420.jpeg 420w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-10-at-11.33.02-AM-696x696.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-10-at-11.33.02-AM-1068x1068.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-10-at-11.33.02-AM.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FAQs &#8211; XAT Preparation Strategy 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763639553563\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the total time duration in XAT exam?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The total time duration for the XAT exam is 180 minutes or 3 hours.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763639567058\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the pattern of questions distribution in XAT 2026?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The expected pattern duration for the XAT 2026 exam covers two major sections.
