This break in the decade-long trend of little to no growth in XAT and CAT registrations is likely due to the recent closing of registrations for XAT 2023 on December 11th.
The XLRI is holding the exam on Sunday, January 8. The computer-based test will be completed in a single session lasting for 3 hours and 10 minutes across more than 70 cities in India. The result is set to be declared on or by January 31. The syllabus for XAT 2023 will include decision-making, verbal and logical ability, quantitative ability and data interpretation, general knowledge, and an essay writing section.
