Which one is harder to prepare: CA (IPCC Level) or CAT?

It depends on various aspects such as how good you are in logical reasoning, quantitative analysis, language, aptitude and your own area of interest. Both are completely different from each other and need to adopt different approach to study Look at IPCC syllabus: Paper 1: Accounting Paper 2: Business Laws, Ethics and Communication Paper 3: Cost Accounting and Financial Management Paper 4: Taxation Paper 5: Advanced Accounting Paper 6: Auditing and Assurance Paper 7: Information Technology and Strategic Management For this, you need to get in depth particular subject knowledge and you are judged on the basis of your analytical skills. Syllabus for CAT: Common Entrance Test or CAT analyses the skills of the aspirant in four sections: Quantitative Aptitude, Verbal Ability, Logical & Analytical Reasoning and Data Interpretation. It is also a test of time management. So, comparison itself is wrong. Decide where you want to make your career and chose.
