Test Comparison:

ü  The CAT and CMAT are the two most common MBA entry tests. Furthermore, the CMAT and CAT, which are both used to get admission to top B-Schools, have significant commonalities that cause confusion among MBA candidates. The Indian Institute of Management administers the CAT, whereas the National Testing Agency administers the CMAT. CMAT and CAT are national exams for admission to over 1000 colleges and universities.

ü  The number of applicants for the CAT test is more than three times that of the CMAT exam. Given the lower level of competition in the CMAT, one may argue that the CAT is more difficult. However, before selecting one of the two management admission tests, one must weigh all of the advantages and disadvantages.

ü  Knowing the distinctions might assist you in deciding which exam to take. Knowing the similarities might help you enhance your preparation technique if you plan to appear for both. Continue reading to learn more about the differences between the CAT and the CMAT.
