Hi. I am currently working in a mechanical firm since 2011. I had joined an engineering college in 2006 and was to complete my B.Tech in 2010. But due to a medical reason I could not appear for 6th semester examsand thus, got a year back. So technically I was 2 pass out in 2011. But at the time of leaving the college still some subjects were not cleared due to my negligence. I have apppeared for last 2 papers just last month and I am confident that i will get the degree this time.


Therefore, I want to clarify from all the other aspirants whether I am even qualified to sit for CAT and other MBA exams like SNAP, NMAT, etc?
