✅ EXAM DAY DO’S — What You MUST Do

1. Carry Required Documents With You

Before you leave in the morning, ensure you have all of these:

✔ Printed XAT 2026 admit card (on A4 paper) – preferably two copies with your photo pasted where required.  ✔ Original, valid photo ID proof (Aadhar Card, Passport, Voter ID, PAN card or Driving Licence) — must match what’s on your admit card.  ✔ A passport-size photograph (same as uploaded, in case asked). 

🚫 Without these, you will NOT be allowed entry.

2. Reach the Exam Centre Early

📍 Your admit card will show the reporting time (generally around 1:00 PM for 2:00 PM start).
Reach at least 60–90 minutes early to complete entry formalities and biometric checks smoothly.

3. Dress Simply

Wear comfortable, light clothing without unnecessary layers, big pockets, or metal accessories. This speeds up security checking.

4. Read On-Screen Instructions Carefully

Once you’re seated and logged in:
➡ Take a moment to read all instructions displayed on the computer screen before starting the test.
This ensures you don’t get tripped up by navigation or rule details.

5. Use Time Wisely

XAT usually has sections like:

• Decision Making

• Verbal & Logical Ability

• Quantitative Ability & DI

• General Knowledge (short and separate) 

Plan your time wisely, attempt easier questions first, and mark tricky ones for review.

6. Stay Calm and Focused

Think clear, stay positive — panic only costs time and accuracy. If you get stuck, move on and return later if time permits.

❌ EXAM DAY DON’TS — Things to AVOID

1. Don’t Carry Prohibited Items

Keep these at home:

 

❌ Mobile phones
❌ Smartwatches or any electronic gadgets
❌ Calculator (on-screen calculator is provided) 

❌ Bags, notes, loose papers, or any study material 

Possessing these can lead to disqualification.

2. Don’t Arrive Late

Late entry is not allowed at any cost. Even traffic delays won’t be considered. Plan your route and leave early.

3. Don’t Ignore Invigilator Instructions

Follow all instructions given by exam centre staff — that includes:

• Seat allocation

• Rough sheet handling

4. Don’t Cram at the Last Minute

The day before and the morning of the exam is not for heavy studying.
Relax, get good rest, visualize success, and keep your mind clear.

5. Don’t Spend Too Much Time on One Question

If a question looks too long or confusing, mark it and move on. Wasting precious time early can cost you in overall score.
