Primary answer
Yes, candidates pursuing professional qualifications such as CA (Chartered Accountancy), CS (Company Secretary), ICWA, or similar recognized programs can apply for CAT if they meet the eligibility criteria equivalent to a Bachelor’s degree. Final-year candidates of such programs can also apply, provided they complete all qualification requirements within the timeframe specified by the admitting institute and submit valid proof during admission.
