Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

It is very difficult to compare the CAT toughness and GATE toughness because in india these are the most toughest exam.Some one may feel CAT more tougher than GATE or some one may feel reverse.The difficulty depends on how much you read.If you are a management students you feel GATE as tough and If you are a engineering student you feel CAT is tougher.
As I am a engineering student I felt CAT is quite tougher than GATE

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

Hai,
CAT and GATE both are two differant ways.

CAT is for Business management like MBA.

GATE is like technical course.

But in this two CAT is the most competitive than GATE without preparation the two are difficult.

So the choice is in your hand
All the best....

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

I think cat is tougher than gate .In gate you have to be technically strong but at the same time one knows that its not something new which you have to face.Competition in cat is more than for gate.

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

dear friend,

See both exams are different. After passing the both exams you can get master degree from both. After passing the CAT exam you get chance for MBA and after GATE you will get chance in M.Tech. Format of these two exams are different.

Form outside you can not say any of these exams are tough or easy. Both are tough and both are easy at the point of view of the candidate. If a candidate get well prepared in the examination then it would be easy one to the candidate and if not then it will be very tough to the candidate.

good luck.

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

GATE exam is one of those tough exams in our country where competition is very high.
There is no short cut to success when you are giving a exam like GATE.
You should have a comprehensive knowledge of the subject that you studied during
four years of your engineering course. Also pay attention to solve ealier years
GATE papers.You should practice more and more in order to get a thorough understanding
of the paper pattern.Try to get some study material of some good coaching institute.
It will be helpful to understand the concepts of the subject.

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

Hi.

The CAT (Common Aptitude Test) is one of the world's Toughest Exams. It is because, it tests the critical skills of the candidate in every question it offers. It consists of the basic maths ans high level english vocabulary. So it covers distinct corners of your academics till date.

Whereas in GATE, even if you are not from a very good college, but you have worked hard on your basic of Bachelors degree, your concepts are at your tips, and you have got hold on the subject, then you can do well in this exam and qualify for Masters in IITs.

So, CAT is an exam for a higher degree so its got to be tougher. and comparatively GATE is simpler, but I don't mean its GATE is a cakewalk.

Good luck !

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

Dear friend,
Both the exams are completely different as far as your carrier is concerned.
GATE is Graduate Aptitude Test which deals entirely with the technical knowledge.
Generally Science Graduate/Engineering Graduates are able to appear in this exam to take admission for M.Sc/M.Tech in the IIT's or other reputed institutes across the country.
Whereas Common Admission Test(CAT) consists of your general ability and numerical analysis skills.
All Graduates are able to appear in the exam to take admission in the IIMs and other top level B-Schools in India.
Both the exams are quite tough.
All the very best!!!!!!!!

yoursister said its tough so its tough,my god what a reason.i just want to know the scopes regarding gate as i think its not so easy to crack gate also without good preparation

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

I feel CAT is more tough to crack as compared to GATE because there is n predefined syllabus for CAT exam.
only past trends suggest that CAT tests in general aptitude including Verbal Ability (English), Quant Ability (Mathematics), Logical Resoning (LR) and Data Interpretation (DI) skills.
whereas GATE there is syllabus defined for each domain and you can crack this exam by hard work and clear concepts.

As we all know without practice nothing is easy but in my opinion CAT is tougher than GATE.
Through CAT you can get IIM and through gate you can get IIT's and NIT's.

hi,

CAT is still the most toughest exam after civil services in India. so CAT is tougher than GATE.

On the other hand GATE is somewhat easy to score.

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

Both the exams are of different kinds the cat exam questions are related to the analytical and logical ability based but the gate exam is technical based . so you don't confuse with them.

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

It is already known ( as we read in newspaper and other sources) that CAT is the toughest competitive exam in India....
It is very hard to crack.
and even after cracking candidates does not get admission to the best colleges.
but that does not happen in case of GATE.

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

According to me GATE is easier compared to CAT since GATE comprises more of subject part like its syllabus is mostly related with subjects according to the branch your related with in your B.tech course.It even comprises of Maths as the common part for all the Branches from Engineering.

CAT basically consists of aptitude,general ability and mostly of the English.Time plays a major role in both of the exams.So,if your strong in Aptitude then you can crack the CAT.But its still tough to get in IIM's since IITians and NITians always lay a step ahead of the others.

all the best

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

cracking an exam depends on in which you are strong. CAT and GATE are totally two different examination. in CAT there is genaral aptitude, english and subject paper. but in GATE there is mainly the subjecy although from the previous year some general aptitude portion is included in the syllabus. if you are strong in your subject then go for GATE but if you are strong in aptitude and english then go for CAT. after cracking the examination the study is totally different. be fully informed about the course. after that decide which one is suitable for you. best wishes from me.

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

Dear friend

both have equal importance.I feel the most competitive exam is cat...........because in this exams you have to need lots of practice and confidence.......mind it without preperation both the exams are tough..........


you see cat and gate are different in their field...
so the syllabus is totaly different....
the GATE syllabus is mostly based on technical courses..
and cat for all who want to get into MBA colleges(management field)

so if you feel interest in the management then go for it without thing about the tough or easy.

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

Dear friend

you have no right idea about this. There is no such type of rule that if secure good marks

in CAT but you have not passed your graduation from a high profile colleges then you

will not get chance in IIMs.If you secure good marks in CAT definitely you will get admission in IIMs.


Also if you do better in gate exam ,then you will get good colleges like iits.

Best of luck

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

Hi Guys, That's really an awkward question to ask. I dont know why such doubts appear. Both exams has different perspective and different goal. Both of these exams are considered prestigious and competing in their fields and perspective.

There is no such thing that tough or easy. The exact word is high competition and both the Exams has it.

So do have your choice and go with it.
Good Luck.

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

Hi!

We all know that CAT exam is for managemnt field GATE is for engineering field. Both the fields are widely different, it would be unfair to compare both the exams. Both the exams are toughest in their own field.

It is true that for getting admission into IIM's you have to score a really high percentile near to 100 in CAT but it will be wrong to say that IIM's select only those candidates having degree from top institutes of India.

both exams are equally tough. If you don,t prepare well, you can not pass any of them. With good preparations both the exams will become easy to pass. And don,t listen to others, you can judge yourself by taking a look at previous years exams. You will see how much difficult both the exams are.

This thing a lot depends on your preparation

without preparation all is tough

Re: CAT or GATE which exam is tougher to crack?

Neither of the exam are tough or easy just do the preparation and do your study accordingly..

But remember one thing that both the exams belongs to different fields ,so if you feel interest in the management then go for it without thing about the tough or easy.

Or if you are interested in the technical field then go for the GATE exam,All the best.
