The duration of the XAT (Xavier Aptitude Test) exam is 3 hours or 180 minutes. During this time, candidates are required to attempt four sections: Verbal and Logical Ability (VA), Decision Making DM Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation (QA&amp;DI), and General Knowledge (GK). The number of questions and the time allotted for each section may vary from year to year. It's important for candidates to manage their time effectively during the exam, as each section has a fixed time limit, and there is a penalty for not completing the sections within the allotted time. Candidates are advised to practice time management while solving mock tests and sample papers to get a sense of the amount of time required to solve different types of questions. It's also recommended that candidates reach the exam center well before the scheduled time to avoid any last-minute rush and ensure a smooth and stress-free experience during the exam.
