Hello,

XAT 2021 will be conducted on Sunday, January 3, 2021. The XAT score is being used by more than 150 institutes for the admission.

  • The difficulty level for XAT 2021 was difficult as compared to previous year papers.
  • This year XAT Exam 2021 was being held in three shifts in an online mode.
  • Numerical Answer Type (NAT) questions have been introduced this year onwards where you have to use the virtual keypad appearing on the computer screen to enter the numerical value.
  • Negative marking of 0.10 mark per questions will be given for eight unattempted questions while a penalty of 0.25 will be given for an incorrect response made by you.
  • There is no descriptive paper this year.
  • The timing was reduced too.
  • No negative marking is there in the General Knowledge section.

Hope this helps!!
