What is the difference between CAT, MAT and CMAT?

Hi Shivam, CAT (Common Admission Test) - Popularly known as CAT this is a national level Common Admission Test conducted by Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. The tests are based on Quantitative Ability (QA), Verbal Ability (VA) and Reading Comprehension (RC), Data Interpretation (DI), and Logical Reasoning (LR). Considered as one of the most reputed entrance tests for Management in India, these tests are conducted online. Candidates taking the tests are usually required a User ID and a password. Based on these results the candidates are then short listed by management schools. These are then followed up by a Writing ability test, Personal Interview or a Group Discussion. * MAT (Management Aptitude Test)-MAT is conducted by All India Management Association (AIMA) through both online as well as offline modes for over 500 B-Schools. It is conducted 4 times a year through the months of February, May, September, and December. The qualification required for appearing for MAT is a graduation degree from any recognized university. C MAT (Common Management Admission Test)- C MAT is a national level computer-based management entrance test. It is conducted by All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE). It is a three-hour online test that is conducted to evaluate the candidate’s ability across several segments such as Quantitative, Technical, Logical Reasoning, General Awareness and Language Comprehension. It is conducted twice a year and the difficulty level is moderate. C MAT is an easy test as compared to CAT but it is a good option for students seeking admissions for MBA in India. There is no fixed pre-defined syllabus. Hope this helps.

CAT is the most difficult exam which is conducted by IIMs. If you want to take admissions in the top colleges consider giving this exam, CMAT is the middle-level exam, you can go to some top colleges but not IIMs, MAT is the easiest of all the exams.
