CAT 2012: Mother of All Exams: What are the other exams I can sit for if I prepare for CAT?


You can sit for almost all the management entrance exams that test the aptitude of the candidate like XAT, MAT, SNAP, CET, SRCC GBO, IIFT, JMET, NMAT, etc. Rather it will not be wrong to call CAT the mother of all MBA Entrance Exams in India. 

The aptitude test consists of English (verbal ability and reading comprehension), Quantitative Ability (mostly Class X level math, except in some exams like XAT and JMET where pure math, which is taught at the higher secondary level, questions are asked), Data Interpretation, Data Sufficiency and Reasoning. 

In some exams such as MAT (Management Aptitude Test, another all-India common entrance exam), SNAP (Symbiosis National Aptitude Test, for the institute in Pune), IIFT (entrance test for the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade), IRMA (entrance test for the Institute of Rural Management at Anand) and ATMA (the Association of Indian Management Schools' Test for Management Admissions, another all-India exam), there will also be an additional section of General Awareness.

As can be seen, once you prepare for CAT, you can attempt almost all the management entrance exams.

In addition, the preparation will also be helpful in cracking the campus recruitment related exams. However, the patterns of different exams have to be studied and attempted individually to get maximum results.
