Comparison of MAT with CAT

CAT (Common Admission Test) is a highly competitive MBA entrance exam in India, primarily used for admission to IIMs (Indian Institutes of Management) and other top-ranked business schools.

MAT is generally considered less difficult than CAT, and its scores are accepted by a wider range of business schools, including many non-IIM institutions.

Candidates can take the MAT multiple times in a year. CAT is only conducted once a year.

The syllabi for both CAT and MAT are similar, but CAT is generally more challenging.
