Best of luck

CAT is tougher than IPM. The ratio of students selected in IPM is 1:100 whereas in CAT it is more than 1:170 I think and the level of exam and interview is also tougher in CAT as compared to IPM.

If you are ready to face difficulty level and want a better rewarding career than you should wait for you graduation to be done and then take CAT.

If you think you will not be able to compete with the tough competition in CAT , then IPMAT is a easier yet a good option for you.

Hope this helps
