Most of the colleges accept CAT score. Xavier's and few others accept XAT score. If you are eyeing for IIFT (Delhi/Kolkata) you need to take IIFT exam. As most of the colleges accept CAT score, I would suggest you must write CAT.

Among XAT and MAT, choose the former as a lot of top colleges like XLRI, SP Jain, etc. accept XAT scores, unlike MAT. However, it is difficult as compared to MAT, which is considered as one of the easiest entrance exams. So, take a wise decision. Good luck.

XAT will be a good choice because you will get admission in good colleges if you score well in the same. All the best.

You should go for CAT (Common Aptitude Test). It opens the gateway to the best colleges in India.

You should go for CMAT, but some other colleges do not consider CMAT for admissions.
