Hello Aspirant,
You cannot apply for CAT through ignou.. But yes you can apply for MBA through open learning at ignou. But I'll suggest you not to take admission through open learning in cat because that will not hold much value. If you want to do mba then I'll suggest you to do it from regular college. Or distance learning from colleges like nmims or symbiosis. Since you are pursuing Chartered accountancy therefore i think distance learning programs will be beneficial for you.
In case of any further query feel free to ask..
All the best

Thank you for your reply.
Let me clear you about my education first.
I have completed my Intermediate in 2017. I have cleared CA Intermediate in January 2019 and pursuing my articleship now. How can I approach now. If I do distance degree now it takes me 3 more years.
Please suggest me the best way to do.

Okay.. So you are already half way in your CA journey.. Therefore for a backup option you can do mba from ignou.. That even won't hamper your articleship or your final preparation..

Dear Sai, there are 2 things to it. If you are still pursuing your CA Articleship, you unfortunately are ineligible for appearing for CAT 2019. But if parallelly you have pursued a Graduation degree along with CA, though you havent completed your CA Articleship, you are eligible for CAT. The rule says that if you have not completed any Graduation course and are in the final year of a Professional course like CA/ICWA/CS, you are not eligible for CAT 2019. But puruing a Graduation course now will consume 3 years and by then you wpuld have missed atleast 3 chances of appearing for CAT. You havent mentioned how many months of Articleship are you left with. But the early way to appear for CAT is to complete ypur remaining tenure of the Articleship and get your Professional degree and appear for CAT.

Yes. Even if you study Bachelor's from IGNOU and score an aggregate of 50%, you are eligible for CAT.
