Which exam is better among MAT, CAT and XAT? I would like to pursue MBA after my B.Sc. I am pursuing B.Sc (2nd year) in microbiology.

CAT exam is accepted by all the top MBA colleges in India except those top colleges which conduct their own entrance exam.
For example, XAT, it is conducted by XLRI-Jamshedpur college which is among the top 10 MBA colleges in India and it accepts only XAT score and also the no.1 college for HR specialisation in India.
MAT is not that good as it has only limited good colleges.
MAT is easy to crack in comparison to CAT and XAT.
CAT and XAT are the toughest exams but if you work hard you definitely crack it. -
You should try to take all three of them because it will increase your chances of getting a good B-School. For IIMS, CAT, XAT for XLRI and MAT is for other top 50 colleges.
All the best. -
It depends on you, how much knowledge you have and how much hard work you can do for that purpose, CAT is mandatory for IIM but everyone is not capable of scoring 90+ percentile in it, if you are capable enough MAT, XAT, SNAP and CMAT are other options based on your intelligence and kind of university you want. -
You should appear for CAT. If you score good percentile in CAT exam then you can get admission in IIMs.
