Hello,

CMAT is relatively easier to crack as compared to CAT.

  • The CMAT exam was introduced to reduce the stress of student's experienced when preparing for a management entrance exam.
  • MAT on the other hand is conducted 4 times a year and allows students access to the second tier b-schools in the country.
  • While the NTA conducts the CMAT, the All India Management Association conducts MAT.
  • CMAT is a higher level national MBA entrance test as compared to MAT and ATMA. CMAT offers admission opportunity in higher level MBA/PGDM colleges.
  • More than 600 MBA colleges in India accept the MAT scores, making it one of the country's largest MBA entrance exams.

So according to comparison these entrance test are easy and allows to take admission in most of the b schools in India.

While MAT is acceptable by most of the business schools.

Hope this helps!!!
