The eligibility needed for candidates to sit in the CAT exam is they should be a graduate from any stream, from any recognised university or board. Previously there was a cut-off of 50% and 45% for the general and reserved category students respectively which they had to secure to sit for CAT. But from 2023 some changes have been made, though the 2024 notification is yet to be released.
