Hi Robme,
There is no limit on the number of times a candidate can appear for CAT. There is no age limit as well.
What about the credibility of CAT score after many attempts?
Hello Robme

Hi Robme! CAT scores are valid for one year. You may appear for multiple number of times and your score from the latest CAT will be considered. Even if you have got a higher or lower score in the previous year, it won't really affect your chance of admission. Basically, the credibility will be on the latest score and admission committees won't judge your previous performance or compare the scores. At most, they may ask you during interview the reason you appeared in CAT more than once. However, technically that won't be the deciding factor of your final selection if your score, past academic records and other parameters are at par. All the best!
