Hi Dear,
Among 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 aptitude, 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. -

6 years agoAmong all the examinations, you can attempt MAT and CMAT with ease and no fuss. Also, Students average score is better of all examinations. ATMA is also one such exam that is not difficult. But you must note, as these exams are not that tough, average students are more in number. That's why prestigious institutes prefer a tougher exam paper to be able to get best of candidates. -
