Two weeks for the exam are left. If I was to prepare for XAT now, I'd stil go by the sectional strategy I've mentioned in the video, my preparation would revolve around PYQs, solving last 5 years papers, looking at their solutions on 2IIM and Cracku/Unacademy. I would put sectional aims- 13-16 marks for quants, 11-14 marks for DM and 12-15 marks in Verbal. I'd see what my scores are by taking the past few years paper going into them raw. After which I'd see the percentile vs score of each of those years. I'd know if, for instance, (Verbal) do I do better in the poems or paragraphs, are verbal ability questions simple to me? (Pick the best option, unjumble etc.), Do I do better in sets (DM) where the 4 questions are interrelated or do I do better in questions where the questions are not, do I do better in objective questions like "Which course would you choose" or subjective such as "What would you do as a manager*. (Quants) I'd say focus more on Arithmetic and Algebra, especially on arithematics, because there's definitely questions you could solve in about a minute or two as some are plain common sensical, but just know around 70-75% of your entire section will be algebra and arithematics.
Man thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. ❤️
You're so good at this! Informative and very funny.
Hahaha, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😂😇
man great video and a real good sance of humour , you really put work in making content of the video educational as well as entertaining
Thanks so much! I hope it was of help :)
loved the video, a very creative and enganging way to share your experience
Thank you so much 😊
Subscribed immediately, very catchy and informative content, looking forward to some more XAT related videos, also I am a fresher with no work ex idk how am I gonna cope up IF I get an interview and also am non engineer so my quants is lame 😭
Being a non engineer doesn't mean much, if your prep is good, it's good. Period. IF you do get an interview, the interview will most definitely revolve around your college experiences and internships and subjects, so catch one subject you were really good at, be thorough with your internships and capstone/live projects and build a story around why you want to do an MBA.
finally the video is here; also good luck for your end sems
Aiiii, thanks, man! The exams went well (or so I hope, lol). Hope this video is helpful!
In the world of cringe MBA content creators like Shweta arora, catking, c2c. We found a guy who actually resonates with the vibes of our generation! Super cool videos! Love it!
Aiiii man, thanks for this! I just try to make the content as fun as possible, I am glad you enjoy it! But no hate to any other content creator, they are all trying to help as well in their own ways :)
Sorry to say but Shweta is pretty good as compare to shitty cat king and C2C they prey on students fear.
Hey shweta arora is way too good
Many people find it intellectual to comment an out of the crowd opinion,but fail to get an overall picture! So Speak for yourself brother, don't give a generalized opinion..just cuz u've to appreciate someone, doesn't necessarily imply downgrading others! Majority of cat folks watch these youtubers,which explains the numbers these guys have! So just take in whatever good info these guys offer, and avoid unnecessary criticism!
I didn't downgrade them in any sense except by calling them 'Cringe'. Now, the feelings are subjective, what I feel cringe may not be cringe for others and vice versa. I've expressed my opinion about how I feel and what differentiates this guy from others, I never questioned their authenticity or character, just called them 'cringe'. @@JustChill0100
Superb editing it didn't make me forward every minute or so as I do in other videos. Come with more content on xat please regarding gk and essay part
Thanks for the kind comment! And yes, I will try to come up with a short video/short on how to prepare for XAT GK and essay writing
Thanks for this video!
You're welcome! I am glad you found it helpful :)
I really loved your guidance.
I am glad you found the video helpful!
Great video man, I wanna learn to make videos like this, could you make a playlist on video editing tutorials as well? And yes, thanks for all the insights!
Haha sure, I'll try to make a video on this. I'm glad the insights were helpful!
Such a great content creator you are with your storytelling like videos. Never felt it was a long one. Thank you and keep up the good work 👍🏾
Thank you so much!
Content Quality!🙏🏻🔥
🙏🙏
Great video. Thanks for condensing so much information in one video
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful ☺️
Man of culture!
now this is literally the bible for XAT , thanks man
Aiii, thanks for the kind words bro! Hope this will be helpful 😇
made me subscribe!
bruh this was actually good...btw can you please tell me from where can i improve my VARC section of XAT. I'm struggling like a lot..this section f**ked my CAT too..
Keep doing PYQ's to get a better idea. Cracku and 2IIM's solution for last years paper would help you gather insights on how to approach the section.
Helpfull video!.. Its weird that they asked questions on communities..... I would not have able to answered those.
I know! It's alright though, even if you wouldn't have been able to respond, they would have changed the line of questioning.
Really helpful!❤
I am glad you enjoyed it 😇
@@EnvIshaan please make more of them 😅
I will!
Hi Ishaan, I hope you're doing well, firstly thank you for this video. I am curious to know that why did you select MICA over XLRI, given the brand and placement statistics of XLRI, this question comes from a persepective that, I have applied for both, XLRI and MICA, my work ex is completely into HR so there's a obvious inclination towards that, although I myself being a poet and photographer have slight affection towards the creative side of MBA which seems to be justified at MICA. So basically long story short, why MICA over XLRI, what factors come into play while choosing this. Also please make a video on MICAT and it's processes of selection as well. Thank you.
That's indeed a great question. XLRI, as a brand, is unparalleled, especially in the HR domain. I was eligible for selection in five colleges: MICA, XL Delhi, XL BM/XL HR (Jamshedpur), NMIMS, and SIBM Pune. I made it into XL HR, NMIMS, and MICA. If I had been selected for XL BM, I would have undoubtedly chosen it. However, clarity about your career goals is crucial. I was certain about pursuing a career in marketing, and even if I had gone to XLRI, I would have chosen marketing as my major. Instead of solely chasing the brand name in XL HR, I opted for the better brand in terms of marketing, and not many can surpass MICA in this regard. It's essential to consider factors such as average placements, participating organizations, and industry preference for your college. For me, MICA stood out ahead of other colleges.
What would be a safe score for female non engg General, even I want XL-BM
I'd say the overall cutoff will be around 90%ile and sectionals last year were 75/75/80. I'd say a safe score would be 12 in verbal, 9 in DM and 12 in quants. Overall aim for around 35 marks.
New video out for MICAT: th-cam.com/video/bKpuihoJpLA/w-d-xo.html
Hi Ishan! Considering the fact that there is additional negative marking after 8 unattempted questions and your attempt rate was 72/76 so do you suggest it's better to attempt maximum questions even if we are unsure of the answers or it would be better to simply leave them?
Depends on your accuracy. If you are accurate and can get 80-90% of your questions correct, attempt less but have sectional targets in mind. If you have an accuracy of 65-70% which was the case with me, this strategy worked wonderfully.
can you please suggest more for the dm section except for past year exams, how should we prepare ( any specific strategies), any TH-cam channel that we can refer to??
In all honesty, for strategy, I believe whatever I have mentioned in this video should suffice. Look at the pointers made and try to look at PYQs to see how accurate the strategy would be. Try PYQs with my strategy and see if it works or not. In case it does not, I can suggest Cracku or 2IIM for XAT, but I honestly found my strategy to work better than anything else. That's just my personal opinion.
Just came across your video and I must say hearing the strategy and planning from an aspirant himself give such an honest viewpoint. The only question I want to ask you is this - I want to maximize my scores in Quant section as much as possible and the way forward I feel is practicing a lot of questions topic wise as possible. Can you provide a good source of questions so that I can solve them along with XAT previous papers? I am starting my preparation from today. My CAT performance was very bad and NMAT I scored 227 but 66 in QA, Verbal I scored 84 and in LR I scored around 77.
I can say Unacademy's TH-cam channel is the best resource for quants prep. They do provide topic wise questions as well. Arun Sharma books will be helpful if you want a really large catalogue
Thank you so much. Unacademy TH-cam videos right?
@@dineshkumarpatra Yes that's correct
Bhaii kya hi bande ho tum i mean you are a great storyteller i must say, totally engaging video and helpful too.
Aree sir 😅 thanks a lot! It's a long video, toh beech beech mein pause karna padta hai, otherwise this should be enough for XAT preparation.
Thanks for the video. Please share GK prep tips and essay writing strategy
So the essay related to a social/geopolitical/psychological/philosophical topic. You can be creative or direct while writing it. You can write it in the moment, but be fast as there is a timer on. As for the GK section, write down all the political and GK/Data based topics, make 5 points each for those topics and during the exam based on those points frame your answer. Practice at home with a few topics. @user-xm7qf5gl9s
Sure, Thanks@@EnvIshaan
Working professional here, relied on Arith and Algebra for CAT haven't touched the other chapters, should I get into Geometry or is it too late to start something new in Quants?
In all honesty, the geometry in XAT is comparatively easier and a lot more intuitive through approximations. Go through the previous year exam papers, try to solve a few. You'll get an idea of whether it's worth it to put time and effort into geometry or not
Geometry is very huge to strt now, u shud be able to put in the time even in having 2nd thoughts but j will complete as much as possible in next two days
@@EnvIshaan thanks for the word of advice pal, my gut says to give Geometry a shot might as well do it. Also at 7:20, the verbal question's first sentence is probably wrong because of the use of "from" instead of "at", don't think it has anything to do with January 8th. I am not sure though XD.
Yeah that's probably it lol, that's why I also mentioned "From 2 PM onwards". Nonetheless, the sentence was indeed wrong.@@okayaresd
In QA, which topic one should practice more out of Arithmetic, Algebra & Geometry?
And for VA/DM, can we "just" rely upon PYQs?
I messed up my CAT quants, really worried about XAT.
For me other 2 sections are doable as compared to QA, but i don't know how to cope up with QA. Hardly 20 days are left. 😥
Last years paper: Algebra: 11,Arithematic: 12 ;Geometry: 5
Similar trends were seen before, but usually, Arithematic+Algebra will make up 70% of your paper. Verbal and DM need to be practiced on pyq's, but for DM, I would recommend following my strategy, and for Verbal, well, look at some other TH-cam channel because, in all honesty, I used to trust my intuition in the verbal section.
How much "ONLY" pyq will help me with QA irrespective of these topics ( Arithmetic, Algebra and geometry)
Quite a lot. Difficulty level usually revolves around the same mark, so maybe going through last 5 year's paper will prove to be fruitful.@@Soniaa45
Thank you so much for the clarity. Keep going with these gem contents.💎
Hi there! The video was really beneficial. I'm glad I came upon your channel. I'm having difficulties with the VA portion since there are a few grammatical questions that I typically answer by using the elimination strategy, but it's not accurate. In addition, I think RCs are a little harder than CAT. How can I get the most out of this section's score? Any tips/ Sources which will help maximize my score?
Hey! Thanks for the kind words. I would say the most accurate way of solving these questions is still elimination. I know you are not finding it helpful, but if you were able to accurately do it in CAT, trust the process, it'll be okay in XAT as well. It all comes down to how intuitively you're able to solve the questions. How much are you scoring in Verbal as of now? As for resources, there's very little time remaining, but I can suggest having a look at the GMAT guide (I would say utilize your time on other things, but if you can, maybe have a look)
@@EnvIshaan Thank you so much for giving your inputs. Will definitely put them into action. And to answer your question, I am scoring a maximum of 8 marks in the VA section as of now.
@@nisha___D. Try poems maybe? You must know what you're better at between verbal ability and RCs. Whatever you're better at, I'd say you'd need to attempt almost all the questions, even if you're half sure. I'd say if you intuitively attempt most of them, chances are you'll score more than you're scoring right now
Such an informative and useful video, kudos!
Can you help me with the following ?
1. Appropriate answer if asked about any kind of preference between the programs.
2. I scored 96% in my bachelor's, due to that, should I expect too much questioning on academics?
Bhaiya , Quants mai agar Maximum number of questions attempt kare aur kafi galat huye suppose 6 correct answers and 15 wrong answers then jo quants ka percentile hai woh maximum number of questions attempt krne ke base pe bhi badhta hai kya ?
6 correct and 15 incorrect mein total 2.25 marks aaenge. Anyway sectional clear nahi hoga. To clear sectional, you need atleast 11-12 marks
@@EnvIshaan thankyou bhaiya.
cat slot 1 VA- 10, LR - 17, QA-16 total - 43. expected percentile -89 Profile - 9/8/7 Non engineer, OBC, PG complete, work ex 8 months. Especially worried about VARC cut off). which iim call would I get ?? as my VARC percentile a little lower ...
I am sorry but, I did not give cat this year, and I believe it's not possible to predict how or where the cutoffs would lie. Assuming a 90+%ile regardless, you can expect calls from IIM Vishakhapatnam and a few other non-IIM colleges. Make sure to prepare well for OMETs!
u r best that gun humour was very funny
Do you think being from a different field,say a medical background benefit one in the interview process or getting into XLRI all together in any way?
No it does not. Life for non engineering/finance/bba backgrounds is difficult in these interviews and even in college. You see, colleges select students based on whether they think the students will be a good fit for their curriculum/culture and whether the selected student will get shortlisted and eventually selected for good companies in summer and final placements. That being said, need to do exceptionally well to get selected. I am not trying to scare you, just telling you how it is. There are a few doctors in MICA as well, so it's not impossible, it's just really difficult is all.
Definitely a lil scared after reading this but I’d let the diversity criteria calm me down a bit. Thanks :)
@@harshnahandoo Aiii, that wasn't my intention man, but I'm just being honest. You can pull through, one anyway needs to put in a lot of effort. And yes, diversity quota definitely helps in selection, it's just the interviews that you need to prep well for.
hello sir , i am not at all good in quants but good in dm and varc .so what would be the best way to score good and is it possible to atleast get 80 to 85 percentile ?? how much attempts should i make in this two sections bcoz i will leave the entire quants section.
You cannot leave the quants section otherwise there is no point giving the exam itself. You need to get a minimum of 10 questions correct in quants to qualify for XLRI. Even then, if you want 85%ile in DM and VARC, I'd say aim for 7 and 9 marks respectively.
Can you recommend any particular online course that will sort of help keep us on track these last three week? If you know any good ones? I know you mentioned Byjus mocks but for revision/ Quant and DM? Any recs?
When you say on track, what do you mean by that?
@@EnvIshaanlike using one coaching’s resources so that our efforts are streamlined rather than following multiple TH-cam channels and getting stuck in an information overload.
(P.S. yt recs are cool too if you consider them comprehensive enough)
@@babyshifu872 Oh right, got it. I'd say Unacademy's TH-cam channel is the best for quants and Elites grid is the best for DILR. These are for CAT. For XAT, I'd say 2IIM or Cracku for the DM section, and solve all PYQs as mentioned.
Also, if you want a comprehensive list of topics, look at the description of this video for a spreadsheet I've shared, it has every topic for CAT prepration, it won't be very different for XAT either.
Thank you for all the help!
Amazing Work @Envlshaan
Can you please make a video for Micat?
Thanks! And yes, I am already working on it

Hey...so i am repeating all mba entrances this year, last year i scored 90 percentile in xat. I couldn't clear cut of for quants. Can you suggest some tricks.
My score were:-
Valr:- 97
Dm:- 86
Qadi:-59.8
Just increase the time for quants. Simple as that, your VA seems pretty good, DM needs some work, but quants is where you are faltering. Like I mentioned, try to save around 90 mins for quants. Solve around 70% of the quants paper, but do it with full accuracy. If there's 28 questions in quants, try to do 22 in 90 mins, which means you'll have around 4 mins per question, which is more than enough to solve for the quant section.
Please teach me how to get 90 plus percentile in va section T.T
Bhaiyaa i have done bsc with zero work ex and 2 yr gap , I don't know about mba anything , finance , marketing , hr , so can I convert if I get good percentile? ?
And how to prepare for interview
Of course you can convert, but interviews are an entirely different ball game. If you don't know about which specialization you should go to, maybe now's the time to learn about it. Your GK needs to improve too, and you need to prepare popular questions such as "Why MBA, why this college, why this specialisation, why mba after job/as a fresher" etc. To prepare I'd recommend joining a coaching, any that you like, or get recommended.
Hey, such an informative video. Please make a video on strategies to crack MICA as well.
I will! Already working on them

Ive given the xat exam and total attempted questions are 49 and i think 30 - 35 would be right so what will be the percentile , im very nervous and very much worried for my career
At 30 marks, your percentile will be between 85-90
@@EnvIshaan and can i expect xlri call for hrm ( non engineer female )
How did you prepare for GK and essay?? That;s an important part of XAT/
I did not. Frankly I was good at essay writing anyway, and I did not prepare for GK, however I used to read newspapers daily, so that helped. But that won't be a big part of your selection process
This is the first video I did not skip. Hello Envlshann I gave cat exam but totally messed up. Aiming for Xat. I think I can crack xat. But the thing is I completed my graduation in 2022. I did not do anything in 2023 due to perosnal family problems. What can I do. Please help 😊. By the way good video 😁
During your interview, mention any NGOs you were a part of, or any side business, or courses along with your family situation. Don't sound desperate, but be honest.
I am a general dentist with a 8/7/6 profile with a 98.3 percentile in XAT, do I have a chance to convert xlri?
Chance, yes. However, it's slightly lower. You need to absolutely impress them in the interview. Converting BM will be very tough, maybe Delhi and HR can be doable, even BM is, but you need to be brilliant.
I also have a 1 year experience in clinical dentistry and 1 year experience in business, would it help my case?
@@EnvIshaan
I loved the way you explained everything. But there is something i wanted to ask you regarding the way of speaking in the interview. I can see that you handled it wonderfully with so much confidence but in my case i really have a phobia of interviews. I generally tend to freeze whenever i am asked something for which i am not very well prepared. I have tried everything but cant seem to improve on it. It feels hard to convey my thoughts constantly for few minutes ..can you give some tips?
When you're asked a question, they care more about the answer than how much time you take to answer it, how much you're pausing and how you give the answer. Yes these things matter a lot, but they are secondary to the quality of the response itself. Some people have the ability to bullshit through their answers, but the committee is not stupid either. Just be sure of what you speak before you speak. Ask for permission to think, ask for permission to drink water. It's okay to be nervous, they know it means a lot for you too and they know you are nervous as well. Think before you speak, don't try to talk through your answer. I understand you may not be great with Interviews, but it's a learned skill, not innate. So practice your interviews well beforehand, even if you have to pay to get your interviews taken. No substitute for hardwork, but I know you're up to the task! There's enough time, so best of luck
You are telling Gk marks won't be count, but Is there any condition that we have to score specific makrs in the particular section? I mean, What is the point of asking Genral knowledge questions?
GK marks will not be counted, but if let's say you and someone else scores similar marks, if your GK score is better, you will be given preference over him or her.
@@EnvIshaan okay okay thanks 👍🏻
What was your CAT percentile? Can I score well in XAT after scoring 85 percentile in CAT?
My cat percentile was around 85, maybe slightly lesser than that, so yes, you can absolutely score in XAT even after you mess up your CAT. It's all about your preparation
11:59 Won't it be option E for 29th question? Because, option E talks about hiring A type candidate to teach complementary courses. Whereas, option A says that both new and existing faculty will teach the same courses.
Yes, I apologize, my bad. I meant option E but for some reason marked A during the solution. Even in the video I am talking about option E only, so you're right, it would be E.
Hii bhaiya.. I am a general male currently in second year pursuing bba my academic is 62,82 and current 70 Percent how much should i score in cat to get a good college please assist me and give some tips..❤️
Your 10th and grad scores will be major hinderances. Aim for a 96+%ile and even then your aim could at Max be a new IIM, it'll be almost impossible to get ABCLKIS. But, good thing is there are still a lot of good colleges. Just need to Ace your exam.

You will man! All the best 🔥
if u don't mind can i ask u a question ,why were u rejected by xl -bm interviewers ? any specific reason cause xl is my dream college and I also aim for xl-bm
I have no idea to this date. As you can see, my interview went quite smooth and I gave decent answers, I think it could be that they thought I'd not be a good fit culturally for XLRI, or maybe I couldn't answer questions how they wanted it. Maybe they had better candidates as I had less workex (6 months, as they don't count experience before college ends), or maybe better acads.
Thank you ishaan Bhai But I have question
My DM is done.
VARC is sorted.
What should I do for quants ?
Considering last 20 days in hand Kya karu is maths ka ?
XAT PYQ solve karliye but still dar lag raha hai ki CAT 2023 jaisa question ka level up hogaya to kya karu ?
Please guide me. ( Thank you in advance)
Same QA ka chakkr hai, I’m easily scoring 15 in DM and verbal but not quant !!
QA ka around 75% will come from Algebra and Arithmetics. Like I've mentioned, save enough time for quants, maybe close to 100 minutes. The quickly and accurately you finish your verbal and DM, the quickly you will be able to go to the quants section. Also do remember that you can easily spend 4-5 minutes on each quant question, and out of them around 1-2 sets will come, so complete your sets first and then move on to individual questions. Last year atleast 3-4 questions were guessable from the options alone if you did calculations till step 1-2. Key is, save time, look for solutions of last 3 years PYQs, don't waste time on topics you're not comfortable with.
Hey I'm weak at quants..how can i prepare for it...and from which platform to cover up the important topics
Profit and loss, simple and compound interest, ratio and proportion, mixture and allegations, time speed distance and mensuration are the main topics to study. These will be the important topics. Have a look at Unacademy's topic wise solutions on their YT channel.
Bhaiya what percentile we required for the mica through xat
Assume if someone get 75 percentile and scores good marks In the micat exam unko jabh call ayega kya through mica
No. 75 is too low for MICAT. There's no hard an fast rule per se, but it's almost impossible to get MICA at 75%ile. Aim for atleast 85+%ile, and even then there's a low chance. Your best chance is at 90+%ile
New video out for MICAT: th-cam.com/video/bKpuihoJpLA/w-d-xo.html
Hey bro
I am a Bpharm graduate, SC category student can I get xlri call on lesser percentile or else i need 97-98+ ??
You need to qualify the basic cut-off (which would be around 95 percentile) and the sectional cutoff. You will have a better chance than general students during the final selection process.
Superb video.
My NMAT score is 234.
LS- 90
LR- 82
QA- 62
Will i be able to get good calls?
Your QA score is quite low sadly, so you probably won't get a call for Mumbai. In fact according to last year's cutoffs, most other colleges will also be difficult. I'm afraid you are gonna have to rely on CAT and other OMETs, unless the cutoff falls this year for NMAT
Content 🤌💯
🤌🤌🤌
Sir what is qa cut off for female non-engineer for xlri!
I think it was 80%ile, so aim for around 8-10 marks
what can be asked to a fresher or one with no work ex?
Think of your interview as a story. Either the interviewer is interested in it, or he's not. Irrespective of your workex, as long as you are able to keep the interview revolving around your experiences, you are good. But just to answer your question, for freshers they might ask stuff from your courses, especially finance if you have done a BBA or undergrad in a finance related field. Also read up on your current affairs, GK, and major events that happened in 2023- early 2024.
Hey can u share your resources for preparation except pyq :)
Sure! 2IIM YT channel for DM, Unacademy for quants, I believe cracku for verbal? Although I wouldn't suggest anything for verbal, I didn't like any of these channels. The Byjus test series was super accurate (I gave three mocks and scored 44 marks as average, and scored 44.25 in the real exam). Other than that ofc there's PYQs.
Hey bhaiya, i prepped hard for cat quant and messed it up. But I am going through XAT papers and I can find 8-10 manageable questions. I just want to know how to prep in these last 17 days to get my quant to 13 marks
How much time are you taking to solve these questions? XAT has 5 options, and usually they are all pretty far away from each other. There's easily 4-5 questions that you can solve just by approximating the answers, and there are around 2 sets, so make there's 8-10 marks for you. Honestly, more time you spend on quants, better chances you will score well. You can take calculated risks given there is a +1/-0.25 scoring, so you are better off attempting more questions.
Share this video around to someone who you think can benefit from the points made. Also, I will drop a video for MICA in this series as well, so stay tuned! Ask me any question related to XAT, MICA, NMAT or any thing else. See you soon!
Heyy can i prepare form today if i know how to to solve DM ?
@@smritigupta-vu4fn Never too late to prepare! Just put in more hours than you'd normally given there's very less time left.
Is it possible to crack XAT in the remaining days?
Of course! It's possible
So what is your profile 10/12/graduation??
8/8/8
@@EnvIshaan Thank u
what a video...
Any tips on GK section ?
Don't think about it. The marks won't count, and even if you do want to study, you can have a look at study IQs monthly summaries.
Bhaiya can we get 75% percentile above for xat exams in the remaining days :-\
You definitely can. But 75%ile won't get you much in XAT, you need to aim for 95+
@@EnvIshaan okay bhaiya but I didn't prepare for the cat that much :-\ I don't think it's possible
If possible can you give me some tips
But my dm section is going good getting 13 marks in all mocks and pyqs and quants also
13 is a good score in the DM section. I have shared a sheet in the description where you can see what are the topics and time required for each of them in the quants and verbal section. Best you can do now is just solve the PYQs well, look at their solution on 2IIMs TH-cam channel and website
You probably forgot the difference between percentage and percentile.
I didn't lol, TH-cam titles only allow 100 characters, so had to delete Ile in %ile 😂😂
Please suggest which mock series to take for xat
Do past 5 years PYQs, they should be sufficient. If you still want to take up a mock series after that, you could try byju's.
@@EnvIshaan Is this much time sufficient to crack xat? Though know all basics. Also how much marks per section should I aim to clear sectional cutoff. I am female non engineer. Pls reply. Pls
@@poojagoyal3222 For female non engineers, the cutoffs are lower than others. I can't help you with how many marks would be required per section because I don't know last year's section vs marks, but I can say solving last year's PYQs and being thorough with basics should be sufficient. Aim for around 10-12 marks in DM, 12-14 marks in verbal and 13-16 marks in quants.
@@EnvIshaan thank you so much. Will try my level best.
Hi
My score in NMAT is 230
Qa- 70
VA-82
Lr- 78
Any chances of getting NMIMS call??
Your sectionals will probably be clear, but the overall cutoff is really borderline. Last year, you would've been 2 marks short, so let's hope that's not going to be the case this year.
@@EnvIshaan Got it. What can be some good clg call I can expect at these marks??
You can expect all other NMIMS calls. Out of them the best option is NMIMS Bangalore.
@@EnvIshaan How about XIMB? Is XIMB better than all other options of NMIMS??
I think so, yes. Everything other than Nmims Mumbai
any suggestions from where to cover GK?
I'd say don't focus on GK abhi, if you have time give it to your aptitude section only. But just to study, I'd say just go through Dainik Jagran's monthly quizzes? Or maybe study IQ's TH-cam channel about monthly current affairs. Again, not necessary as it won't be counted while calculating marks
Much helpful Thankyou!. If I am weak in QA and syllabus and ques practice are partially complete, any tips for the same?@@EnvIshaan
Well the exam is like 2 weeks away, so I would suggest make a list of topics looking at previous 3 year papers, see which topics repeat the most, and do them well. Practice stuff you already know and stuff that you sorta know but not well enough. Leave stuff you arent sure about. @@PM-9911
Did you write essay ? How can someone be prepare for this part?
So the essay related to a social/geopolitical/psychological/philosophical topic. You can be creative or direct while writing it. You can write it in the moment, but be fast as there is a timer on.
I didn't prepare for it, because the topics can be very different, just practice typing in general, you cannot predict the topic of your essay
In test series they’ve given number of topics to prepare and I’m confused where to start….
Write down all the political and GK/Data based topics, make 5 points each for those topics and during the exam based on those points frame your answer. Practice at home with a few topics. @user-xm7qf5gl9s
8:48 aaaaaaah clever
can you give a detailed video on how to prepare xat quant
I'm afraid I can't. It was mostly the same preparation I did for CAT, I have already made a video on CAT (From 45%ile to 99%ile) so have a look at that, I've mentioned all my resources there. It was mostly Unacademy TH-cam channel, Byjus mocks and previous year question papers.
You are from which college?
I'm from MICA, Ahmedabad
did they actually know mbti thing? (ENTP)
No they didn't, I wrote it as a joke
Hello sir
Can you pls mention your sectional marks please!! Not the cutoff! It'd be really helpful
It will help in deciding the number of questions that we should attempt correctly give or take
Sure! I scored 14.75 in Quants, 16 in verbal and 13.5 in DM
My percentile were 93 in quants, 97 in verbal and 95.5 in DM respectively
@@EnvIshaan Thank you so much sir 🎇
what were the sectional cutoffs?
It is available on XLRI's official website.
@@EnvIshaan I could mainly find the cut offs for male vs female and engineering vs non engineering but not specifically for VA DM and Quants and DI. Could you please share the same as per last year for me to get a rough idea
GEM-BM: 75/75/85
GEM-HR: 90/75/75
GNEM-BM: 75/75/85
GNEM-HR: 90/75/70

New video out for MICAT: th-cam.com/video/bKpuihoJpLA/w-d-xo.html
xat without work experience?
Absolutely possible! Although yes, they give preference to workex students, score a higher percentile and do a great job in your interviews. Like I said, your interview will revolve around college internship and personal life experiences
Any advice for people with weak quants? Pleaseeee!!!
There's no substitution to hardwork! Effort has to be put in, but I can say arithematic is a lot more intuitive than algebra and geometry, and geometry is a lot more guessable because most answers are approximations. So focus more on arithematic if your quants is weak, you may be able to crack some questions using just common sense. Practice previous year question papers well. Cheers!
@@EnvIshaan thanks a ton!!!
Why caste and community was asked in your interview. Practicing Jaativaad is breaking the legacy of it. Is you were fortunate enough in the PI as you are Kayastha as it considered as UP. Isn't it. This was ruined the whole mood.
Please make a video on MICAT.
Yes I will! In fact, I am releasing a video on MICAT essay section today itself at 4:30 PM.

I think this time they increased their seats by 60 so this time you definitely would've got it
60 this year too? But in any case, I don't regret not making it in lol, I am really happy with MICA.
@@EnvIshaanyeah I think it went from 180 to 240 in jamshedpur and 180 in Delhi currently. Yeah you would've got at most places your experience is way too interesting than most
@@Bazinga____Punk Nono, unless I'm wrong, it went to 240 last year itself! Unfortunately, I also thought my experience would be interesting enough lol, but they would have wanted something else. But your experience does help you in college placements, so it will work out well for you eventually.
@@EnvIshaan yeah I think it's all about destiny and a bit (lot) of luck. XLRI wasn't written in your destiny.
@@Bazinga____Punk Probably, but it's alright! Can't get it all
Do u even teach??
I've never thought about teaching per se, and abhi I probably won't, I'll see maybe later on

Bhai har mba vaala ,itni English kyoo jhaadta hai
Aree? Ye kya baat hui lol, ab English aati hai toh karenge na baat, also college mein everyone speaks in English anyway, so you will have to get used to it. Interviews will be in English, assignments, placements, you need to be well versed with the language.

Based on your score these are your breakups(if I'm not wrong)
C - 50
IC - 22
UA - 4
Can you tell me what's your sectional corrects & scores
I'm sure you must have attempted all 26(VA)+22(DM) and may have left 4 QA i.e. 24(QA)
You're close! I realised I actually attempted 73/76 instead of 72, so I got 50 correct, 23 incorrect. So overall score of 44.25
I left 3 in quants and attempted everything else. Also, I scored 14.75 in Quants, 16 in verbal and 13.5 in DM
@@EnvIshaan Can you tell me about your breakups of scores.
@@arijitmondal8605 I just did
@@EnvIshaan I want to know why are you attempting so many QA questions?? What's the rationale behind it? You know or you don't know. How much guess work are you doing here?? Can you elaborate on that please??
I got:
238 in NMAT
Ls-91
Lr-78
Quant-69 but only 60%ile in cat what should i make of it 🥲?
Quant score is very on the line, so let's hope you get through. Your CAT score has no bearing on the interviews of selection, NMAT score is all that matters.
