Sir, I completed my graduation in 2024 economics with a cgpa of 9.45, and right after that I was preparing for upsc, so I am looking forward to appear for cat in 2027, so it will be 3yrs of gap, will it affect my admission chances and placement chances?
Ans: HI REVATHY,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Yes, it is absolutely possible to gain admission to MBA programs through the CAT exam, even if you have a 3-year gap in your education or work experience. The CAT exam evaluates candidates based on their graduation degree, and a career gap does not disqualify you from taking the exam. However, when you apply for jobs after completing your MBA, employers may ask about the gap. It’s important to provide a justifiable answer instead of fabricating a story, as honesty is crucial. This principle applies, regardless of how long the gap may be.
BEST WISHES.
