No, XAT is a paper-based exam, and everything has to be written on a paper only.

Essay writing will be paper based too, you will be given a sheet on which topic will be mentioned, below which you have to write about it in the space provided. 250-300 words is a good word limit in the given amount of time.

Actually there are two stances here. I understand your dilemma. The official website of XAT states that exam is to be conducted online, however upon calling the official XAT conducting authority, their response is that essay writing will still be offline. So the point is whether to go by the verbal terms as stated over telephone or the online mentioned terms.

I believe admit card will be issued tomorrow, so the admit card must clearly state how it is to be conducted exactly.

Hi Rahul! XAT would be a computer based exam from this year. While questions for all other questions have to be answered on computer with the help of mouse, essay writing question is the only exception. For this question, you will get answer sheets and you have to write the essay on the paper.
