Hello Aspirant

Yes, you are eligible to take the CAT (Common Admission Test) even if you have one semester with less than 50% in your engineering degree.

CAT eligibility typically requires a minimum aggregate percentage in your undergraduate degree. While a consistent performance throughout your degree is generally preferred, a single semester with a lower score is not necessarily a barrier.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

• Overall Aggregate: As long as your overall aggregate percentage meets the minimum requirement (usually around 60%), you should be eligible for CAT.
• University Regulations: Some universities may have specific rules regarding eligibility for CAT. It's advisable to check with your university's academic counseling office for any additional requirements.
• CAT Score: A good CAT score can compensate for a lower undergraduate percentage. Focus on preparing well for the CAT exam to increase your chances of admission.

Hello Aspirant

Yes, you are eligible to appear for the CAT exam despite having less than 50% in your undergraduate degree.

While many institutions and entrance exams have a minimum percentage requirement, the CAT eligibility criteria generally focus on the overall aggregate percentage. In most cases, a minimum aggregate of 50% is required, considering all semesters of your undergraduate degree.

Since you have a postgraduate degree with 79%, your overall aggregate percentage will likely meet the eligibility criteria for CAT.
