The duration of time between the completion of your graduation and your admission to the business school will be considered as a gap year. Therefore, considering the fact that you have completed your graduation in 2023, will appear for the CAT in 2024, and get admission to an MBA college in 2025 after completion of your entire selection process, this will be considered a two-year gap.

However, there is no need to worry about this gap year as you can easily justify it during the Personal Interview process. You can justify this gap by doing Internships, Certificate courses, pursuing something related to your area of interest, or by making the interviewer realize the need to invest substantial amount of time in exam preparation. This gap year will not impact your selection chances in the business school.
