    Your present year's CAT score does not have any impact on your next year's CAT. So, you need not to be worried about it. The applicant should hold the degree with 50% aggregate marks in any discipline from a recognized university or equivalent qualification. Those in the final year of degree course can also apply for CAT examination. There is no limit on the number of times you can sit for CAT.
    I hope this clarifies your doubt.

    Hi,
    Don't worry, be happy. You can appear as many times for it, no restriction is there. The basic requirement is you should clear your final year with at least 50%.
    All the best.

    Yes, you can appear next year for CAT. But during internship and placement, interview questions will be asked about your gap in education. So prepare a good answer for that. Investing one more year with proper planning for preparation will improve your score and will help you to get into top B-Schools.
