Hi

No ,you cannot give GATE/CAT examination after class 12.

This is because,

To be eligible for CAT ,

  • you need a  Bachelor's/graduation degree in any discipline from a recognised university .

  • you must have got  at least 50 per cent marks or equivalent CGPA in your graduation . SC/ST/PH students need only at least 45 percentage in Bachelor’s Degree in any discipline to be eligible .

  • Candidates who are in the final year of their graduation are also eligible for CAT examination.

  • There is no age restriction to be  eligible

  • It is not mandatory to have work experience to be eligible

For detailed information go through

Similarly,

You are not eligible for GATE examination because

* to be eligible for GATE one must pass graduation in engineering/technology or you should have a master’s degree in a relevant science subject.

* There is no age limit for GATE

Hey,

Sorry to say but answer to your question is a big No.

Common Admission Test (CAT) or GATE are master program exam that allow one to take admission in master degree in their relevant field.

You  must have completed you bachelor or you should be a graduate to be eligible to apply for both CAT and GATE exam.

Below I have mentioned links explaining detailed information about the CAT as well as GATE exam including the eligibility criteria.
