On Comparisons
Q:   How do the tuition fees for the MBA programme at IIT Guwahati compared to those at Great Lakes Guwahati?
A: 

Upon a comparison of fees for the two-year MBA programme at Sushant University and Great Lakes Guwahati, Sushant University charges a fixed fee of INR 5.5 lakh for the course. In comparison, Great Lakes Guwahati offers a variable fee ranging from INR 3.7 Lacs - INR 11.5 lakh based on the specialisation offered. 

NOTE: The mentioned fee is taken from the official website/sanctioning body. It is still subject to change and, hence, is indicative.

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

CAT exam is a national level MBA entrance exam conducted by the IIM. Every year, over 2.3 lakh candidates apply for it. Since the last two years, the competition has increased further with oveer 3 lakh candidates applying for the exam.

The CAT score is accepted by the Iims and all top MBA colleges in India. To select the best candidates from over 3 lakh test takers there is a need for stringent criteria. That's why, the CAT exam is tougher than other MBA entrance exams. Even though the syllabus of CAT is same as that of other MBA entrance exams, the question paper set by the IIM faculty always has tough questions. Moreover, CAT has sectional time limit for each section which is not there in any other exam except XAT. Having a time limit for each section adds pressure on candidates to complete solving adequate number of questions in a section within the time limit. If a student is weak in a particular subject, they can't use the time as per their need. CAT's Reading Comprehension passages are long and dense unlike other MBA exams. This is one more reason why most candidates feel CAT is tougher than any other MBA entrance exam.
