Common Admission Test (CAT):
Among all the MBA entrance exams CAT is the foremost entrance exam,if you want to get good percentile, proper attentiveness than you must do lot of hard work to prepare for CAT exam. This is the only gate-way by which A-grade MBA colleges in India accept you.

Re: Is MAT difficult than CAT?

Well nice question you have asked here, but it want to tell you that CAT is the most difficult examination and it is not easy to scored good percentile in CAT as compared to MAT. For CAT you need at-least 1-2 years preparation. You can easily score good percentile in MAT as compared to CAT. So as per me, CAT is the toughest examination. But if you are a hard candidates and dedicated towards study then there no exams is tough for you.

CAT stands for Common Admission test and MAT stands for Management aptitude test.

CAT is conducted by IIM's once in a year while MAT is conducted by AIMA, 4 times in a year and you can attempt MAT Examination "N" number of times. But if you missed the chance to appear for CAT once then you have to wait for 1 year. The notification of CAT Examination is generally published in the month of August and the examination will be conducted in November/December. The CAT exam is online only. But you can give MAT examination Online or Offline, you have to choose any one of the mode.

You can fill the application form online only, from the official website of CAT. Offline and Online Both facility is available in MAT.

The examination is objective with negative marking. The result declared on the basis of Merit.

Graduation is the minimum standard set for both the examination, you have to scored minimum 50% marks in graduation to apply for CAT, While there is no percentage is required to apply for MAT. Final year appearing candidates are also apply for MAT/CAT Examination.

There are only two separate sections in CAT Examination and you have to passed each one of the section individually. MAT Feb 2013 notifications already declared and registrations also started. If you are interested then you can apply for MAT.

If you want more details then you can visit the official websites.

Dear Friend,

MAT and CAT are entrance exam for the MBA.

It requires minimum graduation.

If you are in final year then also you are eligible.

MAT exam is Management aptitude test

CAT exam is only the aptitude test, it will not have much theoratical question.

The admission will based on these exams result marks...

Hi

MAT - Management Aptitude Test is an Entrance Exam for the MBA course which is conducted by the AIMA (All India Management Association) every year 4 times i.e in the months of Feb, May, Sept, and Dec.

CAT - Common Admission Test on the other hand is another national level exam which is conducted by the IIM's (Indian Institute of Management) for the common purpose of taking exam to select candidates for various MBA COLLEGES.

CAT you have to do 30 questions in 70 minutes. Its quick and you need to be accurate with the exam. But on the other hand MAT has 200 questions and time is 150 minutes. So I cant call which one is tough but the level of CAT questions is definitely tougher.

All the best
