Is Online XAT Coaching alone sufficient to crack the XAT 2021?
Most definitely, yes. The online XAT preparation 2021 course offers clear explanation for all the key concepts. The study material gives ample room for practice and the mock XAT series gets you geared for the actual exam. When we started the course, we thought people might view it as a supplement. We have been surprised by the fact that nearly 90% of the students have used the online course exclusively for their XAT preparation.
The Online XAT Coaching Course will be sufficient for XAT 2021 preparation on a standalone basis. One need not use any other material for preparation.
What are the technical specifications my machine needs to have for the XAT Online course to work?
You will need to have an internet connection, preferably at a speed of around 1 MBPS or better. (the course runs even at speeds lower than that). The videos load only on the Chrome browser. So, the course can only be learnt using Chrome. The simplest test to see if the specifiXATions are met is to try loading some video from youtube on a Chrome browser. If your computer + internet connection lets you watch a video from youtube, you should be able to view everything from the online course from 2IIM.
Through 2IIM Online preparartion's
Mobile app , you will be able to save classes for offline viewing when your internet is stable, and learn from cached content when connectivity gets dicey.
Can we view the videos more than once in the XAT 2021 Online Course?
Yes. Each video can be viewed any number of times as long as your Online XAT Coaching course validity is valid. We do not believe in constraining to some x number of views like few players available in the market for Online XAT coaching.
You claim to be the best Online XAT Coaching Course. How do you know this?
This one is easy. In our minds, we are probably the only one offering an Online XAT Preparation Course. We offer slide-decks, videos, check-point quizzes and XAT-Level Tests. Most products available are either test series, e-books or recorded classroom lectures. In our mind, none of these qualify as an online course. Online XAT Preparation has to involve more than reading a bunch of PDFs on a laptop.
Any recorded video of length more than 15 minutes is more or less worthless. Research tells us that people struggle to watch even entertainment videos if they are more than 12 minutes long. (Imagine that, if one struggles to watch Amitabh Bachan for 12 minutes, what are odds of watching a tutor in a 60 minute long video?).
We have spent an inordinate amount of time and energy in designing this XAT online coaching. At every stage, we have worn the hat of a student and brought in the technology that works for each specific idea. The starting point has been the student requirement, and not the technology. This is why we went down the route of using screen capture videos and not live videos. Screen capture videos de-emphasize the teacher and bring the content to the forefront. (This hurts us while trying to market the product). But screen capture gives us two massive advantages - 1) Video size is small. Our videos on a per-minute basis are about one-fourth of the size of the videos on youtube. So, if you have an internet connection that lets you watch stuff of youtube you can most definitely take this course and 2) We can write equations and use a digital pen to highlight key ideas without worrying about camera focus..
How do we get our doubts clarified ?
All doubts get clarified on discussion board; a repository of previous discussions stay as comments. Every doubt is tagged to a specific slide/video. Every query here is relevant and nothing goes unanswered.
Multi-platform approach :
Course-related doubts on discussion board, content-related and prep-related queries on dedicated WhatsApp groups. Beyond this, you can post on our FB group, Youtube Community and/or email or call us.
24 * 7 support :
We clarify doubts at all times, but aggressively prioritize. Relevant questions will get a response, junk gets shown the door – all platforms are moderated. More time gets wasted on random queries than is healthy for XAT prep.
In case you have any questions, please mail us at info@2iim.com

How is the XAT Online Course different from Green CAT Course?
For all facts and purposes, there is no difference between XAT Online Course and Green CAT Course. They are named differently but the content is exactly the same for both the courses.
How many video lectures are there in a 2IIM XAT Online Coaching course?
The Beauty of the best course is to teach oneself as much as possible with the least possible number of videos and questions. When there is a possibility to master any topic and crack those XAT questions by just learning 100 questions well, what is the need for one to do 600? But, anyways here is the textbook answer - It has probably 1000 videos, 10000 slides, and probably more than 8000 questions all discussed in great length and detail. Nearly 20% of the course is available for free. Try out a few classes. We are sure that you will have a crystal clear idea of what the actual course comprises once you see the freely available content. “Try before You Buy”

You have disclosed the tech provider, technology and given all the information up front here. Are you not worried that someone will mimic the Best online XAT Coaching?
We are very generous that way.
Jokes apart, the largest value in the online XAT course sits in the pedagogy. The value lies in
1) the way we have created the course,
2) the people who have created the course and
3) the quality of the course content.
We have built the entire Online XAT coaching content with a team of 3 teachers. They have distilled years of teaching experience to come up with a well-thought out pedagogy that uses technology well. We have not used technology for the sake of using some fancy bits. We have found the tech pieces that the course demanded, not the other way around. That value which our teachers bring to the table cannot be repliXATed easily.
You state repeatedly that the Online XAT Coaching Course has been designed to help own learn at one's own pace. How so?
The online XAT Coaching Course at 2IIM has been constructed as a mixture of slide-decks, videos and quizzes. An average class that is pegged to be covered in, say, around 2.5 hours for the above-average student will comprise of ~80 slides interspersed with around 8-10 videos. The videos are all of 4-10 minutes length and each video focuses on a separate idea. So, if a student is comfortable with 5 of the 8 ideas discussed in the topic, he/she can skip these videos. Student can get to each subsequent slide by pressing "Next" and the speed is entirely governed by the student.
Apart from this, there are on an average two checkpoint quizzes per topic, each with 6-8 questions inside the XAT 2021 - Online XAT preparation. These are simple practice questions to help consolidate the idea. For these also, detailed slide-deck presentations are available, but the student has the option of skipping these if she is comfortable with the question.
Beyond this, there is a timed Prep-Edge quiz that gives questions at the level of difficulty seen in XAT. These also come with detailed slide-deck solutions. Some of the trickier ones have video solutions as well. Student can choose to skip the solution, rush through the slides, or listen to the videos.
Since we give so much choice over picking the medium for the student, the flexibility over speed is established. A beginner can go through all videos, all solutions in detail, both checkpoint quizzes at his/her own speed, and the prep edge questions after doing some more practice. If done this way, the time taken would be around 5 hours for the class in Online XAT preparation 2021.
Someone who has taken XAT before and knows most of the basics can rush through the slides, listen in on the 4 most critical videos, speed through the checkpoint quizzes and focus on taking the Prep Edge quizzes with utmost seriousness. This 'expert' can finish the topic in less than 75 minutes.
The flexibility over speed is particularly useful while revisiting a topic. You can directly zone in on the 2-3 topics and 4-5 questions that you want to revisit, see 3 key videos and be done with the topic. Some of our students have been absolutely thrilled with the pace at which one can revise with 2IIM's online XAT coaching.
Till what date is the online XAT coaching valid?
The 2IIM XAT Online coaching for XAT 2021 is valid till Jan 31st 2021. Any student wishing to extend the duration of the course can contact us at 99626 48484. Any upgrades or additions we do the course will be available to everyone.
Which is better - pre-uploaded classes or "Live" ones?
This is a no-brainer. Pre-uploaded ones are way better than live classes. 'Live' classes mean that you have to attend at one specific time and listen to the lecture delivered in one specific pace. No freedom over time or pace. The only advantage is that you can tune in from home. If the 'live' lectures are not one-to-one, then there is no way one can have doubts clarified either. You can send your doubts across by email and they will get clarified later. But they will not be clarified at that moment.
We had quite a few students who were disappointed that we did not offer 'live' classes. We just could not wind our heads around why live classes would be better. Live classes are bad for the students. They are no more than a marketing gimmick. We take, on an average 4 'takes' for every screen-capture video that we upload to the online XAT course. We want to teach an idea "just right". We agonize over every detail as far as the pedagogy is concerned. All these advantages one gets from iterating a process disappear when we have 'live' classes.
A live one-on-one class is a different scenario altogether. If you can get live one-on-one class from someone who is an excellent teacher that is a great proposition. Otherwise, never pick a model that promises 'live' classes.
What is the size of the videos? Can we watch it with even a 1MBPs connection?
As we have mentioned elsewhere in this section, our videos on a per-minute basis are about one-fourth of the size of the videos on youtube. So, if you have an internet connection that lets you watch stuff of youtube you can most definitely take this course. Screen capture technology gives us the option of keeping video length short. This is why we have built the entire content on this model.
What technology have you used for the videos?
As far as the online XAT 2021 Coaching Course is concerned, we have used screen-capture technology for most parts. For recording the videos, we work with a Software called as Blueberry; an alternative Software called Camtasia is also pretty good. Our online tech platform provider is Learnyst. They might use some hi-funda technology to create the platform, but they created a simple enough interface for us to use.
