You have got 49.25% in B.Com course, so you are not eligible for CAT entrance exam.

Those candidates who have completed graduation degree from a recognized with above 50% marks are eligible for CAT exam. Final year students are eligible for CAT exam.

Best books for CAT exam:-

1. TIME - Book for Quantitative Aptitude - Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency

CAT stands for Common Law Admission Test and it is conducted by IIM every year. The examination is conducted for admission of candidates in IIM for MBA courses.

The eligibility to appear for examination is candidate must have passed bachelor degree from any recognised university with minimum 50%. So, you are not eligible to appear for examination.

There is 5% relaxation (45%) for candidate who have passed bachelor degree and belong to reserved category.

To be eligible to appear in CAT examination, the candidate must have completed Bachelor's degree course in any discipline with minimum aggregate of 50% (45% for SC/ST) marks from a recognised university. Since, you have secured an aggregate of 49.25% marks in your Graduation, you are eligible to appear in CAT examination only if you belong to reserved category.

The eligibility to attend the Common Admission Test (CAT) is a pass in graduation degree in any stream from a recognised university with 50% marks (45% marks for SC/ST candidates). So if you are in general category you are not eligible for the CAT examination. There is no age limit to appear for CAT examination. The website link is given Click Here.
