Among all the MBA entrance exams which one is easier & which one is harder to crack?

XAT I suppose, is the toughest of all and when it comes to ATMA CMAT and MAT can be considered the easiest exams which come with the slightest complications. All you need is to have basic quantitative understanding and then, you can easily crack any of these with much of effort. -

7 years agoAmong all the MBA entrance exams CMAT, MAT, ATMA are easier as compared to CAT, XAT, TISS, IIFT. XAT is difficult to crack. As per past years exams decision making part of XAT is challenging and confusing. Verbal is also bit difficult in XAT. CMAT/MAT/ATMA on the other hand are having basic level quant (mostly formula based), verbal is also easy. A good practice for quantitative aptitute, DI/LR will easily get you through CMAT/MAT/ATMA. For CAT and other exams you need to practice bit more. G.K is also part of exams like SNAP, TISS and IIFT. -
Hello! Among all the MBA entrance exams conducted, CAT & XAT are comparatively harder to crack as compared to the likes of MAT, ATMA, and CMAT. Having said that, every exam can be cracked if one has the right strategy to ace it. -

Exams like NMAT, MAT, SNAP and CMAT are relatively easier than the likes of CAT, IIFT and XAT. Though, among the easier exams mentioned, I feel NMAT and SNAP are worth giving due to the following reasons:-
NMAT - No negative marking; can book the exam as per your convenience; max. of three attempts provided; no GK(if you dislike it); tentative cutoff for NMIMS 2017 = 209; clear the cutoff & a call is guaranteed; probably the costliest exam(1950 for one attempt); best college = NM Mumbai.
SNAP - Negative marking; no sectional time-limit and cutoffs(explicitly mentioned); GK included; best colleges = SIBM Pune & SCMHRD.
When it comes to the...more -
CAT considered as most difficult exam and XAT, TISS, IIFT but don't think in this manner you can score well in most difficult exam and it is possible you may not be able to get a good score in the exam which seems the easiest make a target and achieve that.
Best of luck. -
Anything is not easy and not difficult, the only thing is the mindset and nothing else, so if you have the mindset that any exam is difficult then it is otherwise not. -
