i am a non engineer (2019 grad),left my job in 2020(11 months work ex).I started pursuing Mcom(2020-2022) while preparing for govt exams but I also gave CAT'20.Got decent percentile and had calls from all IIMs but I couldn't convert any.Would it be considered career gap if I appear for CAT'21?

Hello student yes it'll be considered as a career Gap. Career Gap is period of time spent away from work to pursue interests or preparing for any examination etc.
But as you've obtained a decent percentile in CAT examination you can defend your career Gap in front of the panel its up to you.
If you want to re appear in CAT examination next year you can continue your preparation

Thank you for your insights.But is it acceptable that I was pursuing MCom(regular) and CFA during this period of two years away from work?I am also working on my startup but I don't know how it would pan out.Would it create negative impression during iim PIs and also in summer placements?
