If the degree you are pursuing is of 4 years in duration, then you can only apply in 4th year, otherwise yes, you can apply in the 3rd year. The eligibility is to apply in the last year of your college.

Hello, Yes, you can apply. The minimum requirement for CAT exam is a candidate should have complete their graduation or must be in final year, so you can apply for CAT exam. All the best.
