XAT 2011 Cut-Offs, Analysis, Answer key

Gaurav — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 10:24:43 +0000

I know you guys are waiting for the cut-offs of XAT 2011. Here’s the quick review:

In simple words : “Hosh udd gaye” One of the toughest XAT exams till date. Quant of XAT 2011 will give even our Quant Gurus a tough time. Verbal was ok. Most scoring was DI section. The one who had picked quant section earlier must had a taken a good amount of time.

Right strategy would be to take up DI first, Quant second and Verbal in the last. Institutes and Gurus are predicting that overall cut off of XAT 2011 will drop this year as compare to last one. But stay tuned to detailed analysis.

Various sites has come up with their cut offs and analysis. Lets first talk about the cut offs of XAT 2011:

1) As per Career forum:
XAT 2011 Cut Offs

Few excerpts from pagalguy on what students feel about XAT 2011:

paper was tough attempted 50 odd questions. season ends on a low note. by catophile

The toughest ppr of the season.. Huh no hopes at all byaditya131025

Dude you can’t compare those papers with XAT 2011, what i meant was that cut off was bound to go low and people should not give up so soon even if they have done bad, you just can’t really help if the paper setter just goes out of his mind to set such a paper. by robs9316 (XIMB Student)

A very difficult paper indeed- But difficult for everyone so cut-offs will be low for sure!

Thread of Pagalguy on XAT 2011

Analysis by different institutes:

IMS:

XAT 2011 came up with a number of surprises. The break of questions: 34 questions in Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning, 24questions on Analytical Reasoning & Decision Making and 43 questions in Data Interpretation & Quantitative Ability. Moreover, this time all the questions carried variable weightage in the range of 1 mark to 5 marks and the marks for each question was mentioned beside the question. Therefore, the entire paper was a test of your ability to select the questions judiciously. The Quantitative Ability questions were difficult, whereas the Data Interpretation questions were doable. The weightage given to questions on decision-making was higher. The Verbal Ability section was also on the difficult side, though question types were similar to last year. After two years, poetry based question has made a comeback in XAT. The essay topic was also presented in a different manner this year – an argument was given and one had to present a judgement on the argument along with justifications and examples in 250 words. Overall, it was a difficult and tricky paper.

Battle to fight XAT 2011 begins

Deep Jain — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 14:33:37 +0000

XAT which is most admired exam after CAT in INDIA for admission in B-school is just 15 days away. Before making any strategy to fight the XAT-battle, go through previous year XAT trend.

XAT 2011 will be conducted on 2nd January 2011 in the following 33 cities; Test Timings: 10.30 am to 01:00 pm

Going by XAT pattern from XAT -2006 to XAT-2010 we can make out that XAT has reduced number of Questions from 127 in XAT 2006 to 101 in XAT 2010. Talking about difficulty level it has been maintained more or less same over the last five years.

Most relaxing part is that negative marking which was as high as 1/2 or 1/3rd in XAT-2006 to XAT-2009 had been reduced to 1/4th for first five incorrect answer then 1/5th for each incorrect answer thereafter in XAT-2010.

Down below i have given some links for analysis by other institute , past year XAT papers and some sample papers for XAT.

FMS Cut-Offs & Analysis

bhuvanesh09 — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 05:20:50 +0000

Dear students,

Are you all hale & hearty? This is the question I am asking you why because I have felt yesterday the paper which I gave was very easy & you all must have done well. This was last paper of top 10 B schools. After that we have few papers which are good to give but don’t satisfy insatiable appetite of every heart. Tell me are you not happy this year for such logical & somewhat easy papers. At least I am because I have found that how working round the year for yourself can make you right candidate for management exams. I am going to share in each section what I have got from day to day life & how my common sense has helped me in scoring well some of the sections. Three Idiots has showed us path but the onus is on us that how are we going to make it. At least this year I have tried something & got some rewards. Excellence is what u all must be waiting for striving for & you will find yourself in the right shoes, if not then sorry. This time you will be lucky to get the calls but in latter part somewhere you will realize that if you have paid attention in your past then you would have been different. SO Let’s dissect every section one by one.

Reading Section: Verbose

Oh my my dear, never expected this section such like one. When I came to section & started scanning which passage to pick. I made me nervous & frightened. Which passage I am going to pick first passage which is of 5 pages with 24 questions or the second passage which is on philosophy & the questions of which are difficult o answer. I crossed my fingers & used my golden strategy which helped me always in difficult times. Yes I scanned for the questions which were fact based. They don’t need passage reading because if you have sound knowledge of the subject, then you can go with options. I found five questions in the reading section. You all know I was surprised that all got correct. Then I picked the shortest RC which was philosophy based & attempted all the questions. When I came out I got feedback from my colleagues that the longest passage with 24 Q was comparably not so difficult to crack. Even I attempted some Q after reading some part of passage. I have found that I must have gone for that. SO MBA TUTES is expecting

CUT OFF: 24 —- 28 Marks (50 percentile) Good Attempts – 15 – 17Q.

Logical Reasoning – Easiest of All

Truly I admire the skills of FMS guys, how can they set such an easy paper. You may start from any corner & you will be awarded with score for that question. We have plenty of sets, but I want to make a point that if you would have started with the set “Financial statements of oracle” one because it consists of 6 Q’s. You would have scored directly 24 no closed to your cut off. Then we could have gone for Business school set & then six directors one set. In this way we could have managed some easy sets & somewhat good score. So friends are you repenting that why u have done not good. No issues try to strive for excellence & rewards will be yours. So MBA TUTES is expecting

Cut Off: 35 —- 40 Marks (50 Percentile)

Good Attempt: 20–24 Q

Verbal Section: Excellence

In this section form last year I was not preparing anything, but you all know why I have done well in this section. One reason was striving for excellence another hunger for knowledge. I was able to complete this section in 15 mins & with 30 Q’s. Last year this section hackneyed my speed & due to this section I wasn’t able to get calls. This year everything got swapped because only one reason & you all know that. I know every question of vocabulary & every question Greek, French etc. One question I want to discuss that form where our calendar has been derived. If you all are thinking that I am going to tell u answer for that, I am sorry because I got ans for that Q in one of my seminar which I used to attend on every Tuesday. Yesterday I realized everything what you do in life has meaning & if you lie with receptor attitude then you progress by leaps & bounds. So MBA TUTES is

Cut Off: 30—-35 Mark (50 Percentile)

Good Attempt: 22 — 25 Q.

Quant: Favorite of few but nightmare of Max

This year FMS has given us “chance PE dance”, how? Ask yourself because there were at least 10 to 12 sitter questions. If you not identified them then nobody can help you. They were helping you to clear your cut off this section and help you to get more reward in less time. Then you can go out hunt for other questions which can help you to maximize your score. So questions from the topic like race, log, algebra & surds were extremely easy. Last year question were lengthy & somewhat typical but this year they were easy so cut off is going to move up. So MBA TUTES is

Cut Off: 30 —35 Marks (50 percentile)

Good Attempt: 20-23 Q.

So Over All CUT OFF

MBA: 285 —292 Marks. For General

MBA (MS): 281—-274 Marks. For General

We are posting links of various sites also so you all can visit all side s from a single portal. Please ask for various doubts & post your scores. Best of Luck for NMAT.

XAT 2010 Cut-Offs and Analysis

bhuvanesh09 — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 09:04:41 +0000

Today after giving major exam in the league, I felt a lot released. Tell me one thing now we all are at the end of MBA FAIR for this year. So you all guys must have learnt something. If not then don’t worry because life is very long. We all expecting this paper to go in the same rhythm like all other management exams, easy & speed game. XAT has proved that this paper belongs to class. When I gave this exam last year, I wasn’t able to class it apart. This year I recognize that this is the exam which needs very less preparation that too kind of Coaching institutes provide. It checks you on entrepreneur skills and thought process which you have developed in last couple of years. So tell me which coaching institute has taught you all those skills. It doesn’t matter if you would have run after knowledge; you must have acquired those skills which this paper was checking us on. So friends lesson for 2010 run after knowledge and try to be honest to you which was even taught in “3 IDIOTS”.

So Lets dissect section by section:

1) Verbal Ability & Logical reasoning : Dare to Think Beyond

Before analyzing this section have you asked yourself why we always have to do much in this section to get closed to cut off? I tell you reason because we had never developed those skills which this section checks us on. Had we ever use dictionary to find out the meaning of word while reading newspaper. We just pass through. Do we ever counteract to lines which we read anywhere. How can we develop foresight? That is what, so today this section has no typical RC’s but small case lets. Which short to read but difficult to interpret if you don’t have “Hawk’s EYE”. There were vocab questions & FIJ’s & logical arrangement of sentences which made the section easy as compared to last year. So MBA TUTES is

Expecting cut off: 11 —- 13 Marks. GOOD ATTEMPT: 20 — 22 Q

2) Analytical reasoning & Logical reasoning: Don’t be Stupid Be an Idiot.

This year this section surprised me. This section is favorite to most of my students. Bad news is that this year cut off is going to be low. Why asked yourself three major case studies in which every answer is right according to your perspective. According to management rules only one answer is right. If you are good in this you will get reward otherwise you have to pay penalty. Other sets like crossword which had made hell out of my students. Sets on seven puppies were easy and was must attempt. MBA TUTES is

Expecting Cut Off: 7—-8 Marks. Good Attempt: 13 — 15Q

3) Data Interpretation & Quantitative Ability: So Jaa Gabar AA Jayega

What you people dreamt of that Quant is always tough. No dear this year they have reversed the sections in terms of difficulty. Yes, they made this section easy compared to last year because there were so many sitters for ex Q from No system Let X be four digits no one question. We have 6 to 7 sitters due to which cut off are going to move up. For data interpretation I have two words “Intensive Calculation”. Which hampered speed of many students if they have indulged themselves? So go for sitters if you get time then go for DI. So MBA TUTES is

Expecting Cut Off: 9—–11 Marks. Good Attempt: 15—-18Q’s.

XLRI Jamshedpur :
For BM Prog: 32—33 Marks
For PM Prog: 30 Marks

XIMB:
29—-30 Marks.

GIM
24—26 Marks.

So friends I enjoyed a lot after giving such a Class paper. In the last I want to say that If you start enjoying also then nobody can you stop you to reach to your dream college. I also want to mention about Essay which lot of other sites don’t mention that this year essay was very easy compared to last year.

So we are also giving you the links of the sites those have come up with ANS KEYS. One “STOP SOLUTION”.

TEST FUNDA Analysis: Click here
TIME Analysis: Click here
CAREER LAUNCHER Analysis: Click here
IMS Analysis: Click here

One thing we want to mention that we are giving you the links of these sites so that you can compare our cut off with other sites and can get the feel for future reference who is much perfectionist. Like IRMA We want to deliver what is truth.LET “TRUTH PREVAILS.”

What Heart + Mind say this year about Snap 2009 Cut offs:

bhuvanesh09 — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 11:47:08 +0000

Dear students,

What we said in our first article when heat was on. Irma brought speed and attitude & it affected Snap cut offs. See u people can’t expect that this year cut offs going to remain same or going to move down. One of the reasons was momentum which was brought by other exams like IRMA, IIFT & CAT. All were easy and the cut off moved by some no’s.

So what do you all expect are u going to party this new year by expecting same cut offs like previous year. If that so please shun off your plans or believe us, because what we say it is according to a survey which is done by team.

So Lets Dissect the analysis section-wise:

My favorite section General Awareness:

Wov we expect at least we must know few questions, but we knew few questions only. I found this sections very surprising one. After studying a lot I found nothing expected. Really this section was nightmare to all. They checked us on variety how exposed we are to knowledge. Yes that’s why this year the cut offs going to be low. What Mba tuttes expect cut off going to be for this section is:

Expected cut off: – 5 – 8 Marks.

Easiest Section of the Day: Verbal

Don’t worry to whom reading comprehensions were road blocks, they male through with smiles. I think this year section was very easy, in 20 min I was able to manage 36 Q’s out of 40 Q’s. If this was the situation then the cut off going to be shoot this year for this section. So if were able to score well in this section then party tonight otherwise start preparing well for other exams & that too verbal section.
Expected Cut off: 18 – 20 Marks.

Speed breaker Section: Quant

This year section was easy, but you have to adopt strategy to avoid road blocks which can hamper your speed. So if we would have picked the 3 Q’s On table 5 Q’s on pie chart & 15 Q from various Q’s then we would be able to manage this section. So cut off is going to be little high form last year cut off. So according to us
Expected cut off: 14 – 17 Marks.

Logical Section + Scoring Section: AR/LR

This is section where you get reward; we do single Q & gets 2 points. That’s why students who thinks they have logical bent of mind; they try to bank upon this section.

Really this year section was relatively easy due to which cut off going to move up because you have to just think here & there and you will be rewarded for that. Last year some Q’s were so typical if you would have gone for that then you would have dumped your whole section. So this year we were lucky in terms of those Q’s. So you pick any Q try to think and take away your reward. So According to us:
Expected Cut off: 30 – 33 Marks.

Over All Cut off:

SIBM : 85 —- 89 Marks

SCHMRD: 1) Blanket Call: 85—-89 Marks

2) Profile Call: 75—-78 Marks.

SIIB: 72—-75 Marks.

SITM: 67 —-69Marks.

So you are free to post your queries & scores which will be answered by the team of MBATUTES. We are also uploading various links from where u can check out for the cut offs & Ans keys. So to all your problems we have one solution MBA TUTES. So keep logging on to check for various updates.

CAT is out of the Bag.

Vaibhav Mittal — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 19:46:09 +0000

Dear All.

I hope many of you have already heard a lot about CAT 2009 today in the first slot.

Let me cover it in more detail.

It was 100% as was predicted by us i.e. 60 Questions in all with 20 Ques in each of the 3 sections.

Going into details of each section:

English: There were 3 RCs with 3 Ques each. + 4 ques on Para Jumbles + 2 FIBs + 2 ques on Grammar(Inappropriate usuage) + 2 Ques on Para completion.

DI/LR: There were 4 ques on DS. + 3 ques on Logical reasoning(Arrangement type) + there were 3 sets each having 3 ques – these were on bar graphs + 3 sets with 2 ques each.

PS: First of all there were quite many ques which were repeat from previous CAT papers. There were all in all 4 ques on functions, 2 on geometry, 2 on P & C, 1 on SI/CI, 1 on TSD, 1 on Averages, 1 on Number system(finding remainder), 1 on Trigo(Height & Distances) etc. All in all it was a very easy Maths sections for most of our students.

Note that CAT doesn’t mentioned what is the marking scheme this year and whats the quantum of negative marking. Though the paper said that wrong question carries negative marks.

We expect on the basis of this test that cut offs should not be less then approx 13-15 questions in PS, about 13-15 ques in DI and about 14+ ques in English. All in all this was a speed paper and this was exactly what we predicted.

We suggest that in a paper like this one should attempt around 45 Ques with not less then 80% accuracy.

IIFT 2009 Cut-Offs & Analysis

Gaurav — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:16:56 +0000

I am sure IIFT continuing its last three years track of giving surprises has been a surprise for all of you once again, but then it was as predicted by us. With 122 questions ( 28 in Quant, 40 English, 34 in LR/DI, and 20 in GK) it almost matched our guess IIFT paper.

Talking about Cut-off the first hand feel which we got from our students is that a score of 32-35 should fetch an IIFT, Delhi call, and a score of should be good enough to fetch 28-32 IIFT,Kolkata call.

The paper like last year mentioned that there will be sectional cut-offs, We think that

Quant Sectional Cut-offs should be no higher than 5-6 marks.

DI/LR cut-off should be no higher than 5.5-6.5 marks.

GK cut-off should be no higher than 1.3-2.0 marks

English cut-off should be no less than 8 marks.

Overall – 32-35 for IIFT, Delhi; 28-32 for IIFT, Kolkata

BTW, check out our Tweets for instant updates.

See our Youtube channel to watch the videos of some of the IIFT Test takers; this will give you a brief idea about what students are thinking.

Here’s the video analysis of IIFT 2009 by Vaibhav Mittal for MBAtutes:

IRMA 2009 Cut-Offs

bhuvanesh09 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:15:09 +0000

Hey friends what a relief this year with such a bang on. What we all expect and what we got. Never mind that is what management is- what u expect u never get. Same thing Lord Krishna said in Bhagwat Gita. So friends starting of a session on high note premonition that please don’t expect anything just wait and give your 100%. So today let’s talk about what we had done in today’s paper of IRMA. Frankly today’s paper was on easier side compared to last year. Today I have found not a wink of difficulty in the paper except social & rural issues. Lets start, and analyze each section one by one.

VERBAL SECTION:

Tell me how many of you have felt if this would have been your cat paper could be great sigh of relief. Today there were 20Q of vocab that were too direct, and some were in the form of FIB’s, Paragraph completion & some were synonyms from RC. Then the reading comprehension was easy to read and comprehend which could have helped you bell 10Q’s on that. All in all Para jumbles were such a piece of cake you could have gone for around 32 to 35 Q.

Expected Cut off: – 18 – 23.

QUANT SECTION:

Actually this was not pure quant which becomes nightmare for some students. Last year quant was good but wasn’t that tough. This time you can pick any question and you will get reward for that. Starting 10 to 12 Q were just calculation based. You could have banged on them. Then you could have picked three sets on DI first on rice, wheat one, second on pie chart in which there were six villages in which total no of student from each in village were given in pie chart breakup and the no of students attending college were given in second pie chart break up & thirdly you could have attempted where no the marks were given for the different students in different year. Rest of the questions were also very easy just concept based for ex 3 Q’s on probability. Good attempt could be anything between 32 – 37 Q.

Expected Cut off: – 23 – 27.

ANALYTICAL REASONING:

This was same as last year. There was 10 Q’s based on decision making whether the candidate should be selected or not was must attempt. Then you could have gone for starting 10 to 12 Q which were one liners, for ex if kharif is rainy crop then Rabi is

What crop then odd one out. Then Sitting arrangement that too in a circular manner was doable one. Some Q’s on reasoning part for ex course action, statement & assumption probably false or true & cause and effect. In this penultimate one’s you cpould have gone for some Q’s which you found easy & you were able bell logic. They sound easy sometimes but they get wrong. Good attempt could be anything between 30 to 35 Q.

Expected Cut off: – 20 – 24.

SOCIAL & RURAL ISSUES:

If you all have studied well then this year Q were pretty easy and general. We all were able to clear cut off for this section. For example Q on Bill Gates, which organization does not belong to agri and so many. But still this section haunts many so cut off is not going to as high as other sections

Expected Cut off:- 12 – 17.

Friends this year they have played with strategy because we all know that what the sectional cut is and overall cut off. So they have gone for easy due to which sectional cut off for each will go high and overall cut off will shoot up.

Expected overall cut off: – 105 – 112.

Never expect what you expect, so chill and feel enthralled by the mood of paper. This mood will become motivation for your next exam IIFT. We will meet After IIFT exam with same kind of review.

You can also discuss about IRMA with other aspirants on our Forum, here’s the link of IRMA thread: MBAtutes’ Forum, so u can get all your Queries answered by writing simple post.

Best of Luck for IIFT.

Friends for your convenience we have uploaded links of three websites which can help you out in comparing our cut offs with others premier institutes. I really doubt this year that cut off can so low as they all predicted because many times these institutes want to boost morale of students. We are here to give actual feel what we have surveyed, because last year also paper was little bit tough than this & cut off was not low. So how it can be this year. So compare your scores with other institute also.

MICAT 2009

Gaurav — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 07:08:20 +0000

Though i didn’t get a call from MICA but still i was curious to know about the MICAT. So I saw some response of MICAT 2009 givers on Pagalguy.

Here is a response of Blue Phoenix from pagalguy:

The MICA paper was actually gud.. the only problem was with the Section A2 – this section dealt with pyschometry ofcrse but in a diff manner. Diff ; coz we had to allot marks based on priority levels of the options A,B,C,D,E,F given for a ques.

Eg., one ques – What kind of a wife would u like ? (it meant that.. )
and the options were like – A) independent, smart, blah blah,,
B) aggressive proffesionally, hardworkin.. etc..
and so on till F
so based on ur likes and wants .. u can allot marks like say (MIN-1 MAX 15)
but panga was with the time .. it was a bit time taking to decide since Total had to be 30 and no ties among diff options(in terms of points alloted)

so decisions had to be quick… say 9,8,7,3,2,1 someone slow at calc. could actually use this as a standard and allot points .
Say priority 1 – 9, 2-8, 3-7 .. and so on.. in this way it wd take less time
But we were asked to just put our points beside the option on the OMR rather than bubble///

Another prblm wd be if they ask in the PI our justification for alloting 10 to option X and 1 to option Y … I mean is the ditance between the points alloted jsutified..

The essay topic was – “Is pub culture in metros and mini metros responsible for crimes against women ?” (250 wrds)

I actually screwed up in my Story writing part- Dint get enuf tym .. compressed the last part from arnd 50 words to like 12-15 words///

We had to write a story based on a pic. (A male doctor observing while a female doc. was performin an experiment )

the QA part was easy .. may be a bit lengthy.
Word associations were tricky as usual attempted 15-16 ..

Section B dealt with General Awareness… easy pickings if smeone is well aware

TISS 09 Detailed Analysis

Gaurav — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 17:41:21 +0000

TISS

TISS ‘09 too was easier than TISS ‘08. Though I haven’t given this exam, but am posting the analysis made by IMS group on their site. I am sharing a small snippet of analysis, rest you have to read it by going to their site.

“The management entrance test to TISS, held on 14th December 2008, was easier compared to TISS 2008. The shock value was not there this time because students were prepared and the overall level of difficulty of the test was quite low.
The test was divided into 2 parts – the first part was of 45 minutes duration and the second of 1 hour. The second part of the test was specialization specific, i.e., it varied according to the specialization one had chosen.
The instruction page clearly stated that there is no negative marking, no sectional cut-offs and no sectional time limits. ”

JMET 2009 Detailed Analysis, Answer Key as well

Gaurav — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 17:04:18 +0000

After a long wait IMS has come up with a detailed anyalysis of JMET 2009. According to IMS, overall good score will be around 65-71. Here is a small detailed analysis of Verbal section:

Section I – Verbal Communication
This section comprised questions on verbal ability as well as reading comprehension. There were 12 questions on reading comprehension and 18 on verbal ability. The passages were of medium length with mostly direct questions and a few inferential questions. But even for direct questions, the options were quite deceptive; so negating the options could take some time and careful consideration of the passage. Understanding the passages was not a major hindrance while answering the questions. The questions required you to understand and interpret the passages. There was also one word-based question based on the passage.

Grammar Based Questions
There were a variety of questions testing the basics of grammar like: identifying the grammatically correct sentence, identifying the correct and incorrect sentence after unscrambling them, converting from direct to indirect speech and replacing underlined phrases. There was also a question testing spelling. On the whole, the questions were fairly simple, but they expected you to know the basic concepts of grammar and read the instructions carefully.

Vocabulary Based Questions
There were questions of the type like: fill in the blanks (double blanks), synonyms, antonyms and analogies. Some of the words were quite difficult, e.g., sidereal, moribund, tractable, etc. Here the questions, even the analogies, required a bit of thought and sound concepts. The fill in the blank questions were also on the trickier side.
