Yes it is actually good to give all the exams. It doesn't hurt to have options on your side. All IIMs, FMS, MDI and many other good colleges accept the CAT score. For XAT you have XLRI, XIMB etc. And for MAT too there are over 160 colleges which accept the MAT score. So at the end of the day you will have more options to choose from and that is always better. And actually giving more exams helps you hone your skills better and gain experience. Like giving IIFT was good for me as it mentally prepared me for CAT. However every exam has a different format. So while practising for one exam practice that format and not any other

Why not all the exams?
If you have 50% in aggregate in your graduation then you can apply in most of the MBA exams including CAT- for general category. If you have less than 50 percent in your graduation then you won't be eligible for CAT but you can apply for XAT and MAT as the percentage requirement is not mentioned officially.

The applications are ongoing for CAT, XAT and MAT applications have just ended on 25th Aug.

Do not just rely to one entrance. GIve a few.
With CAT you can get admission in its 20 IIM's and many other private institutes.
You can check the complete list here.
Aim at scoring above 93-97 percentile to get in the colleges related to CAT.

Through XAT, you can check the list of participating colleges below: Including 11 XAMI colleges

Hope this helps.
Good luck!!
