What is better to choose CAT or MAT. Are they both same or are different? MAT. Is also accepted in Iims? Which is better to go for?

Hi There, There is absolutely no comparison between CAT and MAT 1. CAT is far more better than MAT as it is conducted by IIM and it is the only exam that if you crack, can give you a ticket to IIM while MAT is the least rated amongst all the entrance exams and is accepted by only low and average ranked colleges which would hardly give you any placement 2. CAT is conducted once in an year while MAT is conducted 4 times an year If you are to take my advice, I would suggest you start preparing for CAT. Also do take up XAT and CMAT. XAT is accepted by Xaviers 3. CAT is accepted by all the colleges while MAT is only accepted by TIER 3 colleges.

IIMs don't accept any MAT scores, they don't accept any other exam except CAT the only way to get into IIM is through CAT exam. CAT is better than MAT if you are aiming for IIM or top b-school. MAT is given by average students who end up in average b-school. CAT is accepted by almost Iims and all top b-schools whereas MAT is accepted by fewer colleges only. CAT is the toughest to crack out of all MBA entrance exams. You can also given SNAP XAT TISS, CMAT to get into good b-school. 1. MAT happens 4 times every year while CAT only happens once a year in November, 2. 300 questions are there, one hour for each section is given and whole exam is of 3 hours in case of CAT and In MAT one gets 150 minutes (2 hours 30 minds) for answering the 200 questions. 3. CAT is computer based test only and MAT is both computer based and paper based test. 4. Level of difficulty of MAT is way less than CAT Level of difficulty of CAT is 100% whereas level of difficulty of MAT is 30% in comparison to CAT.
