Hey there, I am in my third year of undergrad degree and going to sit for CAT 2026. My third-year final exams will conclude in early august 2027, but most IIM's need the last date for completion of degree on or before 30 JUNE (Though, the last date to submit physical copies of documents, if selected is 31 December). Does this 1 month stretch straight up disqualifies me ? Will I be eligible? Is sitting for CAT this year any beneficial (other than for experience)?
Every perspective is welcomed and appreciated. Thankyou.

CAT 2026 dena definitely worth it hai for the experience. But agar your graduation August 2027 mein complete hogi, toh eligibility issue ho sakta hai, kyunki many IIMs require degree completion by 30th June 2027. I'd suggest checking the official admission criteria or contacting your university for clarification. Even if you appear just for experience, it will help you prepare better for your next attempt.
