No, you are not eligible to appear in CAT Examination. The basic educational qualification required to be eligible for CAT Examination is "Graduation" or Bachelor Degree from a recognized university. You must have secured minimum 50% marks or its equivalent CGPA.

>> Candidates appearing in final year of Qualifying examination are also eligible to appear in CAT Examination.

>> Since you are still pursuing B.Sc 1st year, I am so sorry to say that you are not eligible to apply for this exam this year.
