The CAT (Common Admission Test) and GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) are two of the most competitive entry tests for management. The contrast between CAT and GMAT is that CAT is a national exam, whereas GMAT is an international exam. The best business schools accept the results from both of these exams. The GMAT test is distinct from the CAT in terms of format, scoring, and questions. GMAT has an Analytical Writing Section, but CAT does not. For the majority of international programs in the USA, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Australia, GMAT is commonly recognized as a requirement. In addition to IIMs, more than 160 non-IIM Management Institutes also accept CAT scores.
