Primary answer

CAT is generally considered one of the most competitive MBA entrance exams in India due to the high number of applicants and the level of difficulty, especially in DILR and Quantitative Ability sections. However, difficulty is subjective and varies by individual strengths. Other exams like XAT, SNAP, and NMAT have different patterns, focus areas, and selection processes, making them challenging in their own ways.
