NO. I'M GOING THROUGH THE SAME SITUATION. I GOT A SHOCK AFTER PREPARING FOR CAT FOR 7 MONTHS AND GOT TO  KNOW THAT IT'S NOT VALID FOR CAT. CAT AUTHORITIES TOLD ME THAT THIS DEGREE INCLUDE ONLY 1 YEAR OF EDUCATION (EXAMS ARE HELD AFTER 1 YEAR OF REGISTRATION). THE MINIMUM CRIETERIA IS HAVING 3 YEARS OF EDUCATION.

THEIR EXACT WORDS WERE  " DEAR , SINCE YOU DO NOT HAVE THREE YEARS EDUCATION FROM THE DATE OF REGISTRATION AND COMPLETION OF BCOM, YOU'RE NOT ELIGIBL E."

SO PLEASE BE AWARE. THANKS A LOT

Hi Lokmani, yes there is no age/qualification barrier to take CAT as long as you are a graduate and have the requisite academic scores if any. You may have work experience too.
