You can try stating that as the reason if asked

It's fine. I had a gap too. It's absolutely okay...just tell them that you were preparing for cat. Only very few organisations reject a cv due to this

A genuine preparation gap is acceptable for most companies

Its for @hsbc. Anyone had a experience with gap with hsbc?
