Both the exams are competitive. But CMAT has a wider pool of colleges than MAT. Though to make sure, you can check the accepted exams of the college that you are targeting.

Hello Tanya,
Sadly, with just 76 percentile in the MAT exam, one cannot get a good college anywhere in India. I suggest you reappear for MAT and/or other entrance exams and score high. Good luck.
The top five colleges under MAT are:-
1. TAPMI, Manipal
2. Sydenham, Mumbai
3. XIME, Bangalore
4. IPE, Hyderabad
5. Amity, Noida

Hello,
Yes, you can get a good college after qualifying the MAT score with a high score (at least 99+ percentile). The top five colleges under MAT are:-
1. TAPMI, Manipal
2. Sydenham, Mumbai
3. XIME, Bangalore
4. IPE, Hyderabad
5. Amity, Noida

Next MAT exam for paper based test and computer based test are on 03 Sep and 09 Sep respectively.

If you intend to pursue MBA out side Maharashtra, CAT is relevant. If the intention is to pursue MBA in institutes within Maharashtra, you can go for MAT. CAT is more widely accepted and is considered to be a degree tougher than MAT.
