How difficult it is for an average student to crack XAT exam to get XLRI? How much is the CAT score of students who go for XLRI?

Well, my friend has appeared for both CAT and XAT exams. She filled the MBA admission form from XLRI knowing the difficulty level of XAT. XLRI is a prominent university that has high demands among the students hence, it isn’t easy to take admission here. If you clear CAT with good marks, there are high possibilities to clear XAT with good marks as well.

1. There are few instances where students scoring low percentage in CAT, score more percentage in XAT. It happens because they divide the paper according to their skills. If you are good at the quant section, you may clear CAT quite easily.
2. On the other hand, XAT is all about verbal and decision-making skills yet you need to make sure that you score around the passing marks in the quant section.
3. CAT is about 66% of quant questions whereas XAT has 37% of the quant questions; which has sums based on ethical decision making. However, scoring up to the mark in XAT and CAT comes hand in hand as the difficulty level for both the exams is similar.

Considering the ‘average’ students who usually score average in academics, they have an equal chance to get admission. Moreover, I believe that besides passing or scoring good marks in the XAT or CAT, the admission of the students depends on other factors like knowledge, performance in GD-PI and total appearing candidates.
