The following sections are covered under both the papers :
Paper 1:Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation, Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning, Decision Making;
Paper 2:GK, Essay
Decision Making section is a different section which does not appear in other management exams and hence you need specific preparation. Rest all sections in paper 1 have equal importance.
Paper 2 scores are used for XLRI during their final selection process and the score is not added to the overall percentile.

All the best!
