Dear Arzoo, CAT doesnt specifically mention that a Candidate should have work experience. Now work experience works in your favour for few additional points when you apply to the IIMs or top B Schools. There is no age limit for appearing for CAT. So you can still appear for CAT and join a college if you secure a seat. There is no hindrance there. CAT is still a good option for you.
