Yes, candidates who are in the final year of their Bachelor's degree or are awaiting results are eligible to apply for CAT. However, they must complete all degree requirements and produce proof of passing with the required minimum percentage within the deadline specified by the admitting IIM. Failure to meet the eligibility criteria at the time of admission may result in cancellation of candidature.
