There is no limit on the number of attempts for the CAT exam.

Key Rules:
  • A candidate can appear for the exam as many times as they wish, provided they continue to meet the eligibility criteria (graduation marks) for that specific year.

Clarification: Taking the exam multiple times does not negatively impact your candidacy during the selection process.
