Why is the XAT duration 3.5 hours as per the admit card? It is 3 hours + 10 mins for essay right?

Hi Arsh,

XAT paper 1 duration - 165 Minutes

XAT Paper 2 Duration is GK - 15 minutes
Essay Writing - 10 Minutes.
Total exam duration is 3hrs 10minutes.

No, last year the overall paper was 165 minutes, this year there is a change. Let's see what happens

@naveen Wasn't last year part 1 of 180 minutes duration? or is it 165 minutes?

Maybe its because of the covid guidelines.
