Actually not, but there are some differences in pattern of exam the level of CAT exam is higher than the level of SSC CGL exam. CAT is more concept worthy examination where are in the SSC CGL speed of your problem solving matters as there are less time. And there are the GK portion too in the SSC CGL which are not in the CAT exam.

Preparation for anything depends on how quickly you learn. There are people who start one year before and some 3 months before the exam date. Personally, for an average student with moderate grasping and commitment towards the test can take 4 to 5 months for proper preparation along with mocks.

Hello Abhay,
There is no need to take a year's drop to solely prepare for the CAT exam as it takes around 6-months of diligent preparation to clear CAT. There are still some exams left like CMAT, CET and MAT through which you can get into some reputed B-Schools. However, if your aim is to get admitted into an IIM or a top non-IIM, then only I would advise to take a drop and prepare for CAT. Though you can give the aforementioned exams if you wish. All the best!
