CAT

well its upto you.both have their advantages like in SSC their is a hard competition but if you get selected you will get a well paid government job with no such big amount of expenses in preparation while on the other side in CAT you have to prepare for it, trying to score more than 90+ percentile for good colleges and you have to go straight 2 years PGDM program which is also very costly but if you get a good college I am sure you will get a very high placement.The 3rd option is if you want to try both than my suggestion is please take coaching for CAT, it will also prepare you for SSC bcoz if we compare, CAT exam is more difficult than ssc
