Hi

No, there's no time boundation for CAT. You can appear for it in your final year  of degree or  after completion of degree. After degree means there's no time boundation, you can apoear after 1 year of degree, after 2 years, ... .. 5 years and even after that whenever you want as there's not even age limit.

So, it's completely ok even if you don't appear in CAT 2022, you can definitely appear on CAT 2023.
