Which among these are easier to crack; CAT, MAT, SNAP, XAT and NMAT?
-
MAT is definitely easiest among all of these, and CAT and XAT seem to be the toughest of them. MAT, maybe, easier and is accepted by most of the B-Schools. However, if you have a particular institute in which you want to get admission, I would suggest that you go to their website and check for their eligibility criteria. There are some colleges like IIMs and XLRI which only consider CAT and XAT scores as their eligibility criteria. So, it is always advisable to research on the institutes before deciding to write an entrance exam, rather than going with the easiest one.

Hi, Among the names mentioned, MAT is the easiest in terms of the level of difficulty of the questions asked. Its difficulty level, too, remains almost the same every year.

8 years agoIn these exams, CAT is tougher but it is accepted by most of the B-schools in India. If you are prepared to crack CAT, you can easily crack other exams. Compared to CAT, MAT, SNAP and XAT are easier. SNAP is accepted by only Symbiosis Institutes. XAT is mainly accepted by Xavier institute and with some other rare institutes. So, you write MAT however CAT registrations are closed.
All the best. -
Among all of these exams CAT and XAT are considered toughest exam. Most of the experts in coaching industry say that the level of XAT questions is even higher than CAT especially in Quant section. So both of these exam are very tough to crack. CAT exam score are accepted by prestigious IIMs and many other top ranked B School in India. Whereas XAT is accepted by XLRI Xavier's School of Management and other top ranked B Schools. So both these are tough to crack but are highly rewarding.
