Dear Arpit, there is no particular discipline that you need to Graduate from to be eligible for CAT. If you belong to General Category, you should have completed your Graduation with a minimum aggregate of 50% and it is 45% for Reserved Categories. Only Candidates who have completed their Graduation or are in the final year of their Graduation are eligible for CAT. If you are in the 1st year, 1st semester, you will have to wait for 2 more years before you appear for CAT.

Hello,

Eligibility for CAT is Bachelor's Degree in any discipline with 50% marks, there's relaxation for reserved category, for SC,ST and PWD it's 45%. Final year students are also eligible for CAT, moreover there's no limit for appearing in CAT.

In order to be eligible, first of all you need to complete graduation with respective aggregate concerning your category.

Now, coming to your question, if you're really interested in cracking CAT, then you have to work on your quantitative aptitude part, you have a lot of time right now to do that since you're only in first year, you can go through CAT syllabus and take small and gradual steps towards this preparation, you can also take help of a mentor, or someone who can guide you. There's always scope for improvement, your determination shall sail you through this.

All the best!
