Hello Aspirant

Yes, you are eligible to take the CAT (Common Admission Test) even if you have one semester with less than 50% in your engineering degree.

CAT eligibility typically requires a minimum aggregate percentage in your undergraduate degree. While a consistent performance throughout your degree is generally preferred, a single semester with a lower score is not necessarily a barrier.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Overall Aggregate: As long as your overall aggregate percentage meets the minimum requirement (usually around 60%), you should be eligible for CAT.
  • University Regulations: Some universities may have specific rules regarding eligibility for CAT. It's advisable to check with your university's academic counseling office for any additional requirements.
  • CAT Score: A good CAT score can compensate for a lower undergraduate percentage. Focus on preparing well for the CAT exam to increase your chances of admission.
