You have to be prepared for CAT and take coaching of CAT because most B-schools accept CAT, CMAT and XAT both have same syllabus as CAT for exam, so be prepared for CAT. Then you can make it with MAT.

You should prepare for CAT by taking up some coaching institutes and try to give exams like CAT / XAT if you couldn't make it. Then you can take MAT and it will be easier for you to get the top B-schools through MAT with basic preparation.
