Tougher to Crack – GATE or CAT

Will you please suggest me which exam is tougher to crack among GATE and CAT??

[Arvind Kumar]

CAT & GATE both exams are for different sectors, so one can’t compare between these two Exams

Both the exams are easy to crack as it’s fully depend on your interest. If you feel comfortable in technical paper then I think you can easily crack GATE otherwise I will suggest you to go for CAT.
