XLRI said, "The format of XAT would remain pencil-paper based. This is to ensure that candidates are treated equally and the ones having pre-familiarity with computers, especially those coming from privileged background or having worked in IT sector, do not get any advantage over others who do not have access to computers. The paper-pencil mode also ensures that all candidates are tested on exactly the same set of questions."
