* The format of XAT would remain pen-paper based. This is to ensure that candidates of all
backgrounds are at par, so that those who have pre-familiarity of operating computers, specially 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-pen mode also ensures that all candidates are tested on exactly the same set of questions,
and not on different sets.
