The choice between CAT and IPMAT is based on the career goal. CAT is the most recognised test for admission into MBA programs, mainly for those who have completed their undergraduate studies. It is accepted by the top management institutes like IIMs. Whereas IPMAT is targeted at those students who would like to join directly for a 5-year integrated programme BBA+MBA immediately after schools and institutes such as IIM Indore and IIM Rohtak are providing this integrated program. And if one looks for the MBA, post-graduation CAT would be more suitable for it.

IPMAT exam is conducted for students after Class 12 who are seeking admission to the five year integrated programme in management, whereas CAT is conducted for graduates aiming for the MBA programme at various B-schools in the country including IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, etc.
Students who wish to start early and wish to enter IIMs right after Class 12, IPMAT can be a good choice. And, CAT is ideal for those looking to gain work or academic experience before pursuing management studies. Hence, to know which exam is better, the answer lies on the student's career stage and goals.
