XAT 2025 Exam Analysis | Pattern, Difficulty level, expected cutoff

[@vedantivyas245]

Decision making was too lengthy - passages were long but the questions were also very long

[@mbakaro]

Agree

[@himmyg]

Had a horrible experience at the centre. There was a very long queue to keep the bags that too for the money and later a lot of students were told that the space is completely full. Nor the centre staff allowed the students to keep it inside. We were told to run to a different place to keep the bag but that was also full. Wasted 15 mins and literally had to run inside later on after begging the staff to keep our bags inside. The gates got closed the minute i entered. I was panicked.

[@-VIGNESH-wp6me]

Which centre? 😂

[@mbakaro]

Sorry to hear about your experience with the bag storage. Report the incident to XAT authorities so that they tie up with better centers the next time.

Bro did you hve the noida sec 62 TCS centre? If not i guess it was mismanagement all over

41 attempt i felt heat in exam in terms if length and difficulty so focused more on accuracy usually i used to attempt 48-52 in mocks. Even i felt awestruck seeing all lengthy dm set and scenarios

[@aadityasingh3876]

valr was killer (very lengthy i had to leave a lot of questions) bdm was moderate. Qadi relatively easy (math able would be sailing through) overall a cat level paper

[@mbakaro]

BDM looks easy until you see the answers.
