Hi Amit,

there are no specific cut-offs...the calls are profiled based..so it depends..

but a score of 95%ile + with adequate scores in all the sections would help u in securing a call...

anyway, its good to know that u have already applied to XIMB! thats pretty fast, i must say!!

all the best for ur endeavour!

hi vyjanthi,

ur first doubt has been answered in post # 3 of this thread....but still i'm pasting the same thing for u...


cut-offs:

there are no specific cut-offs...the calls are profiled based..so it depends..

but a score of 95%ile + with adequate scores in all the sections would help u in securing a call...

essays:

for more details on XAT essays, visit this thread...u wud find loads of info here:

http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/other-...ting-zone.html (XAT - Essay Writing Zone) (XAT - Essay Writing Zone)

difficulty:

this year's XAT paper was difficult than CAT.. this is what most people feel..but its more a matter of perception...no need to worry abt the difficulty level, coz what matters is the relative position...

G.K.:

XAT had scrapped GK Section last year and introduced a DI/Logic Section...so chances are highly likely that they would not revert to the old patter...in any case, its always good to go through the newspapers regularly coz they would be helpful in your GD/PIs...
