Hi
According to the eligibility criteria of CAT, you should have a minimum 3 year bachelor's degree with minimum 50% for general category. Since you are still in your 2nd year, therefore you are not eligible for CAT this year.
However, when you clear your backs in the 3rd year of your programme, you may apply for CAT. As final year students are also eligible to apply for CAT.
