XAT 2018, conducted by XLRI Jamshedpur for admission to their Business Management and Human Resource Management programmes, was conducted January 7. XAT score is also used by many reputed institutes such as SP Jain, IMT Ghaziabad, XIM Bhuvaneshwar, GIM Goa, etc. as a part of their admission process.
Keeping with the times, XAT 2018 was also conducted in the computer based format for the first time. While the test was issue free for many students, the experience of a good number of test takers was not smooth. This was attributed to the technical glitches because of which the test did not even start at a couple of centres. At some centres, the students had to face problems due to the exam application, shutting down because of which they had to change their systems multiple times. Many faced multiple restarts of their test systems due to which some had to type their essay all over again.
XAT authorities have informed the students who were not able to take their test that their test will be rescheduled.
