HI,


CAT - Common Admission Test by IIM

MAT - Management Aptitude Test by AIMA

CMAT - Common Management Admission Test by AICTE

GMAT-The Graduate Management Admission Test by GMAC (Graduate Management Admission Council)




All four exams are the entrance exams that act as the medium for the admissions to the top MBA colleges of the country.

Their conducting bodies are different, they have their different accepting colleges.

MBA Admissions to top colleges across India requires the scores of CAT/MAT/CMAT/GMAT also there are many other entrance exams like XAT/NMAT/KMAT etc.

Applicants have to apply differently to all of these exams.

Participating colleges of the given three exams are different, some institutes accepts the scores off any one of the following and some institutes require only specific entrance test.


CAT Exam is the most competitive exam for the admissions to the PGDM/MBA/PGPM courses after the graduation. Top most colleges of India like IIM Bangalore, IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Lucknow, IIM Calcutta and many more.
