As long as you can justify your gap with valid reasons, it should not be a problem. But it would be an advice not to disclose that you spent time only for cat preparation. On the flip side, do not lie, you will be easily caught.Try explaining in the interview what relevant skills you added in this time, any certification, any soft skill course or even investing time in your hobby. All the best

If you want to attempt CAT u need to start preparation for CAT.
it is not University Exam or Board Exam.
It is Exam Conducted by IIM in the Month of NOV/DEC to get admission for MBA.
So there is nothing u can do it if u r completed your graduation.
This is your Chance to crack.

Thanks,
Azim

Hello arbaaz it wont matter much if you take a gap but during interview you may be asked for why did you take a gap after your graduation. 

If u need any help please do comment
