If I am preparing for CAT, do I need to prepare separately for MAT?

No, CAT and MAT syllabuses are almost same. MAT is easy. If you are preparing for CAT then no need of separate work for MAT. The syllabus is almost the same. I was also a student who prepared for CAT immediately after my graduation. The important things which you should look into while preparing for this exam are as follows: 1. Select one of the best coaching centers which offer quality education- TIME is one of the famous coaching centers for CAT. 2. Dedication- Be focused on the aim which you need to achieve. 3. Try to read Hindu newspaper editorial. Most of the passages which appear in CAT are from Hindu editorial. 4. Try to maximum number of online mock test. You will definitely clear CAT by doing the above. 5. Try to read as much as you can and make note of points. 6. Revision of each week topics is very important. 7. Mathematical ability questions will be little twisted try to do as faster as you can. These are my tips for you to crack both MAT and CAT.

To simply put the answer in 'no'. You need not prepare separately for both exams. Preparing for CAT will ensure you have prepared 85% for MAT as well. The only additional part if I talk about syllabus would be General Knowledge section for which you should read current affairs. This can easily be covered by newspapers and magazines. Apart for regular CAT study the other thing must to cover MAT is practicing mock papers for MAT. This will ensure that you know the format of the exam and are well prepared for it. Keep in mind the only key to hack the exams is hard work mixed with smart work.

No, because CAT is the national level exam, which is quite difficult in comparison to MAT. So, if you are preparing for CAT you will automatically get prepared for MAT. Only difference is that in MAT would be a GK Section for which you have to prepare separately.
