CAT

One of the key differences between CAT and XAT syllabus is the varying topics and sections. CAT does not have Decision Making section and GK section but XAT exam has DM and GK as separate sections. Another key difference is the XAT Vs CAT difficulty level. XAT is considered a bit more difficult than CAT exam.

One should start self preparing for CAT as soon as possible during first year of UG if one started its preparation, it will be easy to complete the syllabus within the time with better preparation. So, as per my preference one should start preparing along with their UG.

In top IIMS your 10th ,12th marks matters. It gives a huge advantage as it defines the consistency of a student.
