Accordingly XAT answer keys helped them to very well assess their position and could judge the scores they would be going to get based on the accuracy of the answered questions. The detailed XAT solutions with explanations also helped the test takers in ascertaining their chances to be shortlisted by XLRI or other top rated B schools and also provided them guidance for the future.
With the computerized XAT exam now, XLRI has released the Candidate’s XAT Responses with questions and right answers as only XAT answer keys may not suffice.
