Hello Debolina, Certainly CAT is the better examination between all of these. Because you get admission the best management colleges i.e IIMs on the basis of your performance in CAT. The colleges accepting CAT scores have the best placement packages. But if you have any specific colleges accepting SNAP/NMAT, then you should go for it because the number of seats accepting that particular exam will be higher.

hello aspirant,

NMAT exam organized by GMAC is a National level MBA entrance exam conducts  by Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). NMAT by GMAC exam is the mandatory entrance test for MBA admission to NMIMS Mumbai and its other campuses along with 20 other MBA colleges across India.
