One of the key differences between CAT and XAT syllabus is the varying topics and sections. CAT does not have Decision Making section and GK section but XAT exam has DM and GK as separate sections

[{"selector":"#anim-69b69155-d92c-4b71-9a68-e1c754624f7a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(24.772135274448832%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b9838ca3-0c3c-4565-b784-7d2324ae1283","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-71976ea1-6d4a-4628-be0b-23d9c951505d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 153.61756%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Another key difference is the XAT Vs CAT difficulty level. XAT is considered a bit more difficult than CAT exam.
