    Syllabus of all MBA entrance examinations such as CAT, XAT, MAT, NMAT, SNAP, CMAT, IIFT etc is similar with only minor differences. Toughness of examination is based on ratio of seats virus number of candidates appearing in MBA Entrance examination. CAT is the toughest because its score is used by legacy IIMs which are the best B-Schools in India. In India, based on MBA aspirants feedback, CMAT is the easiest MBA entrance examination.

    The syllabus for MBA entrance exams like CAT, XAT, MAT, NMAT, SNAP, CMAT, and IIFT is mostly the same, with only small differences. The difficulty of these exams depends on the number of seats available versus the number of candidates. CAT is considered the toughest because its scores are used by top B-Schools like the IIMs. Based on feedback from MBA aspirants, CMAT is seen as the easiest.

    All the exams have more or less same syllabus. However, the exam patterns vary in terms of difficulty levels. CMAT and MAT are considerably easy in terms of complexity. Then NMAT, IBSAT and SNAP. In SNAP, you also need to be aware of current affairs. And then comes CAT XAT IIFT.
