Though basically the paper patterns are more or less the same, yet there are some differences in them which you need to take care of. For example, speed is a concern for the FMS and IIFT exams whereas it is not an issue in case of CAT and XAT, especially with the new CAT pattern.
The sections which are common in all these exams are Quantitative Ability, Verbal Ability, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning. The additional section in the exams like IIFT, SNAP and IRMA is the General Awareness section.
