The Emotional Quotient & General Awareness section is unique to XGMT. It combines current affairs and static general knowledge with emotional-intelligence and situational-judgement questions, and carries the highest number of questions in the exam.

XIM University does not release a detailed official XGMT syllabus PDF. Aspirants rely on previous-year question papers and standard MBA-entrance study material, which reliably cover the topics tested in the XGMT exam.

A bachelor's degree in any discipline from an AIU-recognised university (typically 50% aggregate or equivalent CGPA) plus a valid CAT 2026, XAT 2027 or GMAT score. There is no upper age limit.

All of them. MICA accepts bachelor's degree holders from every discipline — arts, commerce, science, engineering, media, law and more — which is why MICAT batches are highly diverse.

No. The MICAT eligibility criteria set no upper age limit. Any candidate meeting the qualification and entrance-test conditions can apply.

Yes, final-year students are eligible. They may appear for the exam and the selection process, and must submit proof of graduation with the required marks by the deadline MICA specifies. Admission remains provisional until then.

Yes. A valid score in at least one of CAT, XAT or GMAT is mandatory. MICAT alone does not satisfy the eligibility requirement, and the entrance-test score also carries the highest weight in final selection.

No. The GRE has no negative marking, so the mocks follow the same rule — always attempt every question and guess when unsure.

Take online mocks for realistic, computer-delivered practice, since the real GRE is computer-based. Use the downloadable PDF mocks (which serve as sample papers) for offline review, error logging and concept revision. A mix of both works best.
