Ans: Can take CAT 25, but preferably start working simultaneously else your gap will become bigger. Having a good work ex will help you later to apply for executive MBA courses in case you do not make it to good college through CAT.

If I prepare for CAT 2025, and get good college on the basis of percentile, will it be legit, bcoz with job will it be possible to prepare for CAT? If I give my best and score somewhere around 99 percentile, will it be worth it not doing a job and sit for XAT 2025
Ans: It is possible to prepare for CAT along with job. Can write CAT, XAT and GMAT as they are similar exams.
