In a couple of days, around 90,000 management aspirants, will be taking the Xaviers Admission Test (XAT).

This is a 20 per cent increase in the number of candidates taking XAT from last year, when the figure stood at 75,000.

The number of colleges accepting XAT scores has also doubled from 23 in 2004 to 46 this year.

“The Indian industry today has a capacity to absorb management graduates like never before. Moreover, even the top B-schools have increased their batch sizes to meet the growing demand,” KK Raman, executive director, KPMG said.

“A recent trend has emerged where good B-schools are accepting Common Admission Test as well as XAT scores. So deserving candidates who could not perform well in CAT for any reason, see XAT as an opportunity to get into a good business school (B-school,” he adds.
