Hello Rima
No, there is no age limit for CAT.
Moreover, there is no limitation on number of attempts
This is taken positive in the sense that you can give no. of attempts to CAT.
However, these factors make the CAT exam more difficult because competition increases.
Its better to take admission in MBA before 3–4 years of work experience.
All the best for your future
