XAT 2018  was conducted on January 7, 2018. In XAT 2018 question paper, a minor change was XAT Exam Pattern. From 2018 onwards, XAT paper was to be conducted entirely online and the penalty for the unanswered questions (.05 marks) would start from the 9th unattempted question onwards as opposed to the 14th unattempted  question. The rest of the paper was in accordance with the pattern of the previous years. Like the previous years, the paper consisted of 2 parts, the first part containing 3 sections: Verbal Reasoning & Logical Ability, Decision making, QA & DI; and the other containing GK and Essay Writing sections. Overall, the paper contained 99 Questions to be attempted within 210 minutes and was of moderate difficulty. Check XAT Syllabus
