Dear Aspirant,

According to the eligibility criteria, you have to be in the final year of your graduation to appear for the CAT exam. So you can go for the exam when you’re in the final year but not in the second year. You also have options to take a drop and prepare and give the exam after your graduation or to get work experience and then give the exam 2-3 years later. It’s totally up to you. All the best!
