The very best advantage of CMAT over MAT is its acceptance over many Bschools ranked in top 50 and is at par in terms of difficulty with MAT. CMAT is generally rolled out by AICTE whereas MAT is by AIMA. However, there is slight advantage of MAT over CmAT as well. MAT will be conducted in both offline and online modes, and a candidate can select any of the modes while filling the form. MAT 2017 will have 200 objective type questions divided into five sections. The duration of the MAT exam is two hours and 30 minutes (2:30 hrs). CMAT is cinducted onky through online mode. Some of good colleges like XIME, Kj Somaiya, Welingkars have good emphasis over CMAT.
