hii yogita,
CAT and GMAT are both importabt exams for MBA.
through CAT, you get admitted to top Bschools in india such as IIMs,XIMB,etc.
However, GMAT is generally applied for taking admission into foreign B-Schools and universities such as stanford university, harvard business school ,etc.
Hello,
CAT is for famous institution like IIM's and others which is applicable for almost all institution and GMAT is for taking admission outside India. According to your preference you can apply for these exams.
Good luck!
Jokes apart... You cannot crack by gobbling down anything - neither maths not vocab... Having a good/great vocab is just an enabler, hardly 1-2 direct questions based on vocab in CAT
CAT and GMAT are acronyms forCommon Admission TestandGraduate Management Aptitude Testrespectively. Now choosing one among these is definitely the matter of your choice. Both of them have excellent attributes individually and far more standardized than any other management tests. To make your choices simpler lets distinguish between them,GMAT vs CAT.
CAT-If you are an Indian resident, Then this is every management students dream to crack this examination and get into IIMs. If not IIM, many other prestigious colleges accept the CAT score as well. You will get good exposure and have a brand name of IIM attached to your resume. This is valid for a year.
GMAT-This is a foreign fantasy of every individual. Wish to study in a foreign land as well have the benefits of studying in a good college, then GMAT is for you. It has more money, more experience and more fun to be honest. This is valid for 5 years.
No matter how dreamy GMAT might seem, most of the students aim for CAT mainly because of these two reasons:
Too far from their hometown, you might have more than boundaries and seas separately you from your motherland.
Obviously Expensive, Unless you manage to get a scholarship.
If you got a lot of potential backed by a good amount of money as well as ready to explore beyond your country then GMAT can be your choice. If you are really determined then you can go for fellowship options as well.
On the other hand, CAT gives you amazing opportunities and you might not have a foreign country experience but you can groom your skills for much less money from an esteemed college.
Apart from these,
If you meet with any kind of unfortunate incident on the day of the examination then you lose your chance to give the CAT exam but GMAT acts as a savior in such unpredictable circumstances. GMAT can be given 5 times a year wheres CAT can be given only once a year.
The application form for GMAT is higher than that of CAT.
CAT and GMAT are like the two sides of the coin, equally prestigious with different aspects.GMAT is expensive no doubt but it is totally worth it if you got the right attitude and determination. Plus there is an advantage of being dedicated because money acts as a motivational factor.
Consider the factors and your ambitions before choosing because no matter what you choose, It is a life-altering decision.
Reply
If you are an applicant with good profile i.e. you have good work experience apart from having decent academic scores , you should give it a try.
GMAT score is generally used by experienced candidates who have more than 5 years of experience. Freshers/Students with comparaively lesser experience generally give CAT for applying to IIM's.
