Introduction
XAT is an annual entrance exam conducted by XLRI School of Business and Human Resources for admission to Post Graduate Management Programs of XLRI, Jamshedpur and 60 other management institutes. XLRI Jamshedpur was founded in 1949 and since then is considered to be amongst the most prestigious institutes for management education in India. Therefore every year a large number of management aspirants apply for XAT to get admission in XLRI or other good institutes where XAT is applicable.
Earlier XAT was only for admission to XLRI, Jamshedpur but with time many other management institutes started using XAT scores for shortlisting candidates for admission to their management programs. After CAT and MAT, XAT is the most popular entrance exam for management aspirants. XAT differs from other management entrance examinations as candidates are expected to write an essay also on a given topic besides the usual objective type questions. The essay is only considered for admission to XLRI, Jamshedpur.
