Hello Aspirant

Yes, you are eligible to appear for the CAT exam despite having less than 50% in your undergraduate degree.

While many institutions and entrance exams have a minimum percentage requirement, the CAT eligibility criteria generally focus on the overall aggregate percentage. In most cases, a minimum aggregate of 50% is required, considering all semesters of your undergraduate degree.

Since you have a postgraduate degree with 79%, your overall aggregate percentage will likely meet the eligibility criteria for CAT.
