MBA Papers : Difference Between CAT and MAT Exams

By admin on January 11th, 2008

CAT – affiliated B – schools are ranked a tad higher than the MAT – affiliated ones.
The CAT, which is administered by Indian Institutes of Management, is also accepted as the qualifying exam by about 20 other institutes, other than IIMs. In contrast, the MAT is a relatively new test, administered by the All India Management Association (AIMA), for other institutes. Though very few students in metropolitan cities appear for the MAT, most students in smaller towns try to adopt a combined strategy for cracking both, the CAT and the MAT, in hope of making it at least to one exam.
