Hi

No ,you cannot give GATE/CAT examination after class 12.

This is because,

To be eligible for CAT ,

  • you need a  Bachelor's/graduation degree in any discipline from a recognised university .

  • you must have got  at least 50 per cent marks or equivalent CGPA in your graduation . SC/ST/PH students need only at least 45 percentage in Bachelor’s Degree in any discipline to be eligible .

  • Candidates who are in the final year of their graduation are also eligible for CAT examination.

  • There is no age restriction to be  eligible

  • It is not mandatory to have work experience to be eligible

Similarly,

You are not eligible for GATE examination because

* to be eligible for GATE one must pass graduation in engineering/technology or you should have a master’s degree in a relevant science subject.

* There is no age limit for GATE

Hey,
