    Dear friend,




    It is totally depends on your personal interest,


    you have to decide it that, in which field you have more interest

    whether you wan to go for M.tech or or you want to go for the

    Management.That is if you give GATE exam you will do M.Tech

    and if you go for CAT you have to do MBA.so it is totally depends

    on you .If you have interest in technical field then you must go

    for M.Tech.

    After doing M.Tech you can go for research of can apply for

    different jobs.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    And if you have interest in Business field then you must go for

    MBA i.e you must give CAT exam.

    Then after that if you apply for job you will get a good handsome

    salary.

    Another opportunity for MBA students is that, if the students

    wants to go abroad then they can give the exam GRE.

    At last I would like to tell you that both are different exam,and

    to me GATE is easier than CAT

    the GATE syllabus is mostly based on technical .

    now it is totally depends on you.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    best of luck........

    CAT is enterance exam for taking admission in a managment institute in india, while GATE is give fot persuing M. TECH in different colleges in india
    so CAT and GATE are two completely different things .
    and between the two i think CAT is better because u get a manger post after competing MBA while after M.TECH u still get an engineering post

    Comparing CAT and GATE is an extremely tough job as they both are meant for different working arenas... CAT is for the management aspiring students while, GATE is for M.Tech or Research....

    So, before approaching for CAT or GATE after Bachelors..the student must judge his inclination for either management or research...And as far as scope is concerned - then CAT may lead you to IIMs and GATE may lead you to IITs... none is less in opportunities...

    Good Luck...!!

    DEAR ASPIRANT,

    CAT & GATE BOTH HAVE THEIR OWN IMPORTANCE. IT DEPENDS ON YOUR AREA OF INTEREST WHETHER YOU WANT TO GO FOR MANAGEMENT FIELD OR ENGINEERING FIELD. TO MAKE A GOOD CAREER DEPENDS ON ONE's OWN CAPABILITIES.

    GATE(Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) IS AN ENTRANCE TEST FOR POST GRADUATE STUDIES IN TECHNOLOGY FROM REPUTED INSTITUTE IN INDIA LIKE THE IITs, IISc, NIT's. THESE INSTITUTE OFFERS THE M.TECH DEGREE WHICH IS EXPECTED WORLDWIDE.

    CAT(Common Aptitude Test) IS YET ANOTHER NATIONAL LEVEL EXAM WHICH IS GATEWAY TO POST GRADUATE STUDIES TO MANAGEMENT FROM REPUTED INSTITUTES IN INDIA LIKE IIMs, XLRI, ISB etc. CAT IS BASICALLY A TEST WHICH TEST A STUDENT's GENERAL ABILITY IN VERBAL, QUANTITATIVE & REASONING SKILLS.


    SO IT DEPENDS ON YOUR CHOICE.

    GOOD LUCK

    CAT is common admission test for MBA course which i myself is pursuing.GATE is for M.TECH ie Masters in technology.CAT is open for all arts,commerce,science and engineering students and even working professinals.Toppers of CAT enter into IIMs and that of GATE enters in IITs.Depending upon your area of interest you should prepare ahead.If you are not from engineering or science maths or it background,you can't go for M.TECH.

    CAT is for MBA and GATE is for M.TECH
    both are different field and it depends upon your interest which one you choose
    in my opinion you should go for CAT i.e MBA if you did B.TECH because at this time companies gives preference to engineers+mba
    as they can handle their business related work also and for this they don't need two person

    CAT is to get MBA seat in any of the Indian management colleges.
    GATE is to get M.E/M.Tech seat in any of the Indian Engineering & Technological Institutions. if u get qualified with good percentile in GATE means, u can
    apply to PUBLIC SECTORS like BHEL, NPCL,ONGC,PGCIL,BEL,SAIL, etc., for job. not only that u can also apply for BARC for scientific officer post.

    so according to me GATE has more career opportunities than CAT.

    Let's put it in this way : CAT = Business/Money,GATE = Research/Teaching/Ph.D...So now it's up to you to decide which will be better for you.CAT will obviously help you to rise to the peak jobs with a very very handsome salary whereas GATE on the other hand will go through a little slow pace and will concentrate more on education,academic perspective.So GATE is for higher studies,research and teaching profession.Hope that hekps you.Good Luck!!

    Re: Which one between CAT and GATE is better and have more career prospects?

    I suggests you for CAT(common admisssion test) over GATE, many of my friend who join as an engineer in many company either by doing M-tech or B-tech later on go for MBA for managerial level post for which they are not eligible earlier, to grab coveted post in their companies.MOREOVER company itself sends their employees for pursing MBA. so relevancy of MBA is more than M-tech.
    also in management you can join any company irrespective of specific types while thruogh GATE you become a specialized engineer who can join only particular company of its SPECIALIZATION.

    besides that i solely depends you to choose between them,whether you like TECHNICAL FIELD or MANAGERIAL FIELD go accordingly.

    for mba there are many entrance exam's ranging from state colleges,XLRI,IIMS,GRE_MAT many other's.

    Both CAT and GATE exams are good for carrier prospect. Selection of any one exam is totally depends upon your interest.
    If you are Interested in Management Course then you should prepare for CAT exam which is conducted for Entrance in MBA course.
    If you interested in technical Field then you should prepare for GATE exam which is conducted for entrance in M.Tech .

    CAT is test for taking admission in an exceedingly management institute in Asian country, whereas GATE is offer for following M. school in several faculties in Asian country
    thus CAT AND circuit area unit 2 utterly various things .
    and between the 2 i believe CAT is healthier as a result of u get a trough post once competitive Master in Business whereas once M.TECH u still get AN engineering post

    cat is entrance check for Master in Business in addition as gate is for m.tech, each area unit masters program however subject is totally different .mba could be a manager level it depends on targets, marketing, finance etc. M.tech could be a industrial level,if you would like to become AN engineer in peak levels please bear gate and find m.tech or if u like become AN manager level bear cat .but if u choose cat get sensible score and find a seat in high b-schools, if gate suggests that get a seat in university level

    Its utterly your selection if you would like to explore a lot of within the world through promoting, finance or to once more additional information on management belongings you higher do AN Master in Business and additionally if you would like to form more cash terribly shortly it ought to be your excellent selection and if you like finding out you'll be able to choose GATE it'll be the simplest selection for you as a result of in each the cases you'll earning sensible quantity of money(i.e. handsome earnings) however just in case of AN Master in Business you'll be doing obtaining a little a lot of salary.....but equally each GATE & Master in Business each area unit sensible and its rely upon once interest and dedication for it.

    Both CAT and GATE are an entrance examination to take admission in post graduate course but both in different fields. CAT is related to Managerial field and GATE is related to Technical field. If you want to make admission in Mba then CAT is best option and for M.tech, Gate would be the best option. Through common admission test (CAT) you can enter into IIM's and through Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) enter in IIT's , NIT. So it's all depended upon your interest and education background.

    Re: Which one between CAT and GATE is better and have more career prospects?

    As for as my views are concerned that you should prefer for CAT than GATE because the Management scope is more in India and Abroad than Engineering and those candidates who qualifies CAT - Common Admission Test conducted by Indian Institute of Management are more preferred in various departments and if you complete your MBA from Indian Institute of Management or XLRI or Symbiosis or AIMA then you may get a huge paid placement in India and abroad too so that you should prefer CAT than GATE

    All the best
