The CAT’s biggest “rival” is the GMAT. OK, OK, it’s not exactly a rival. The Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) , the group of Indian B-schools that design the CAT and accept it for admissions, also accept the GMAT. So the makers of the CAT treat the GMAT as an equally acceptable alternative, not a less-favored competing exam.

In fact, if you are applying to an IIM school from outside of India, you will need to take the GMAT instead of the CAT. This is because the CAT is only administered at select locations within India.

The GMAT is also your only option at most international and US-accredited business schools inside of India or out. Hope this helps!

Dear Student,

CAT and GMAT both are entrances meant for getting admission in MBA. The difference between them is just that the CAT is meant for admission into MBA colleges in India while GMAT is meant for admissions in MBA colleges abroad. But any student from foreign country will not get admission in an MBA college in India on the basis of CAT but will get admission on the basis of GMAT. Tests like ielts and TOEFL also needs to be given for getting admission in a foreign college. Hope this might help you.

Hello Chinthalapudi,

CAT and GMAT are basically entrance exams for admission in MBA in top institutes in India and abroad as well. CAT score is accepted by the institues that are based in India and GMAT score is accepted both by institutes based in India and as well as in abroad like London Business School, Stanford Universitey and so on.
