Comparing the difficulty between CAT (Common Admission Test) and GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) depends on various factors including individual strengths, preparation strategies, and the specific requirements of the programs you are applying to. Invicta Consultancy can provide tailored guidance based on your career goals and academic background to help you decide which exam aligns best with your aspirations and strengths. Each exam assesses different skills: CAT primarily focuses on quantitative and verbal abilities required for management education in India, while GMAT evaluates analytical writing, integrated reasoning, quantitative, and verbal skills for admission into graduate management programs worldwide.

Hello
Generally admissions are given based on your rank. So based on your overall percentile in JEE your rank could be between 56470 - 63480 approximately.
Unfortunately, Based on the marks you scored, it will be difficult to get admitted into NIT Trichy under OBC category. However there is also a second chance for you to attend for JEE, so I recommend you to take that chance and score better.
