Analysis of XAT-2003 Shock, anger, surprise were some of the words used by the students coming out of the Examination centre after taking XAT 2003. "Shock" was used to explain the incredibly simple English questions and also for the untouchable Maths ones. The GK section was surprisingly easy and the most unpopular cum mind-boggling Maths questions threw students totally off their balance. They found themselves in a totally hapless condition as they could solve very few Maths questions despite being given "ample" time for the section. It was a three-section paper just like last year with sectional timings. The English and GK sections were a walkover as compared to last year but the Maths section gave students an unforgettable jolt. The optimum number of attempts was in the range of 120 to 130. As far as the individual sections are concerned English was the one which would fetch the maximum score followed by GK. Sectional Breakup: Section 1. English 2. Reasoning & Quantitative Ability 3. General Awareness

A total of 80 questions were to be solved in 40 minutes. Here the ideal number of attempts would be 70+ and the cutoff would be 50+.
Section 2 : Maths A total of 6 Caselets with 10 questions each to be solved in 50 minutes, which were extremely difficult. A total of 12 to 16 attempts would be considered ideal. The cut off for this section would be 8+ if there is any. Section 3 : GK A total of 60 questions to be solved in 30 minutes The ideal number of attempts would be 40+ and the cut off would be in the range of 25+. Essay: To give real service, one need to add something, which cannot be bought or measured, like sincerity and integrity. Total cut-off could be safely pegged at 85+.
