Q: What makes CAT tougher than other MBA entrance exams?

Faculty: They have one of the best faculties all over India. The lectures and the tests are very comprehensive, testing the needs and satisfying the learning aspects in one of the most prestigious Institutes in India. The course has a trimester system in one year, with 3 semesters.
