XAT, which is also known as the Xavier Aptitude Exam is a management exam on a national level conducted by what was formerly known as Xavier Labour Relations Institute (XLRI), or the Xavier School of Management for admissions into their Post Graduate Diploma in Management course of two years or a crash course of fifteen months.
