Hi Survi,
As we all know that CAT exam is for admission into various B-Schools for MBA or post graduation.So it is not possible to appear for CAT without bachlore's degree. But you can surely appear for CAT Examination in your final year of studies or after completing your final year. Normally students who are tend to join MBA as freshers, appear for CAT in their final year.
So, you can surely apply if you are in final year of your Bachlore's studies.
The eligibility criterion for CAT is a graduation, although final year students of various bachelor's degree courses can also take the test(i.e.Candidates in the final year of the program or awaiting their results can also apply.) However, a candidate will be admitted into a course only if they clear graduation with at least 50% marks. Relaxation of 5% marks is awarded to candidates belonging to SC/ST/PWD categories. Do check the below link for more information.

Hope this helps
All the best !
If you are in the final year of grad then absolutely you can appear for CAT or else if you have completed graduation because at the time of admission you'll have to be a graduate. It's better if you write CAT while you are in final year because then you'll get enough knowledge about the exam even if you don't get through
All the very best
Hiiii dear!!!!!! No you cannot appear for the CAT examination before graduating with a bachelor's degree in any course. You either need to have graduated or be in the graduation year or passing year to be eligible to sit for the cat examination. Therefore you cannot appear now.
