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.

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 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 other two exams(CMAT & MAT), there arent many top B-schools which accept their scores. You can keep them as a backup option, in case youre unable to crack NMAT and/or SNAP.
Indeed if one wants to take up a real good MBA programme you can think of LPU NEST Entrance Exam, this is the entrance exam of Lovely Professional University. They offer a promising career with an effective learning experience at both national and international cadre.
LPU is conferred with National Employability Award 2020 by Aspiring Minds for the 7th time in a row for having Most Employable Students and being one among the top colleges and universities in India with one of the Highest Employability rates. LPU is ranked 10th Best Training and Placements Institutions in India for 2019 by The Knowledge Review. Business Today ranked LPU among Top 100 Private State Universities in 2019 in Placement Performance Category. LPU is proud recipient of Golden Star Award 2018 for being University with Best Placements in India.
There MBA honors get you multiple opportunities of international exposure. In LPU MBA Hons course I found few star benefits, like:
1.To encourage and support students in entrepreneurship and research activities, various types of seed money fundings are granted.
a. Investment Seed Grant
b. StartUp/ Entrepreneurial Venture Seed Fund
c. Innovation/ Research Seed Grant
2. Under the guidance of Industry mentors, who are top executives from global companies, students are exposed to the way business are practiced today through Live Industry Projects. In addition to this, field industry visits and 6 to 8 weeks of internship/ industry attachment are also organized.
3. One Week International Exposure Opportunity to visit Singapore/ Dubai. As well as Option to go to partner universities in different countries on exchange programmes.

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.
