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

Hello aspirant,

So there is no age limit for appearing for CAT exam. But there is a certain age limit which the candidate should have completed the age of 20 to appear for the CAT exam. And there is no upper limit for the exam.


Hope the answer is helpful.

All the best.
