XAT is the toughest of all followed by CAT. CMAT, MAT and ATMA are moderate. Time management, good knowledge and diligence are three very important things to qualify any entrance exam.

XAT is the toughest amongst all your options. CAT was also tough until 2 years back but now, it's easy compared to XAT. MAT is the easiest among all.

XAT is tough because of extra focus on English and Geometry. There are basically 4 levels of exams. Top is GMAT, then XAT, followed by CAT, SNAP, NMAT and at last comes all other exams.
