Yes, MAT is easier than other MBA entrance examinations in many aspects. The questions range from easy to moderate level in terms of difficulty hence making it easy for most candidates. There is no sectional time limit, it depends upon the candidates to choose how much they want to spend on a particular section. The former is conducted four times an year, making it more easy for candidates to learn from their mistakes. There is no number of compulsory questions, out of 200 questions, candidates can choose as much as they wish to.
