IIFT

The syllabus for MBA entrance exams like CAT, XAT, MAT, NMAT, SNAP, CMAT, and IIFT is mostly the same, with only small differences. The difficulty of these exams depends on the number of seats available versus the number of candidates. CAT is considered the toughest because its scores are used by top B-Schools like the IIMs. Based on feedback from MBA aspirants, CMAT is seen as the easiest.

The Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) is a national-level exam conducted by the National Testing Agency. It is a three-hour online test that evaluates candidates in Quantitative Technique, Logical Reasoning, Language Comprehension, and General Awareness. There is no fixed syllabus for the CMAT, but it generally covers basic mathematics (mainly arithmetic from grades 1 to 10), reasoning, and reading comprehension.

The IIFT (Indian Institute of Foreign Trade) exam can be more or less difficult than the CAT, depending on a candidate's study strategies, familiarity with exam patterns, and personal capabilities. The IIFT is generally regarded as having a unique exam style that places an emphasis on numerical aptitude, data interpretation, logical reasoning, and general awareness in addition to having a separate section for verbal and reading comprehension. The IIFT is known for its lengthy and challenging questions, particularly in the sections of the test that deal with quantitative analysis and data interpretation. On the other hand, CAT focuses mostly on reading comprehension, numeric aptitude, logical reasoning, data interpretation, and language proficiency. Although both exams are tough, some candidates may find the IIFT exam more so due to its distinct design.
