No, your friend is thinking of MBA, which is after graduation. For BBA after 12th, you take CUET UG, that's the entrance exam for Delhi University's BBA and most other colleges. CAT is only for MBA programs, much later.
MBA is a postgraduate degree after you finish your bachelor's degree, so you can't take it right after 12th. Right now, you should look at BBA or B.Com for your bachelor's. After you graduate, you can then take CAT or other MBA entrances. For BBA itself, you'd take IPMAT (IIM Indore/Rohtak, applications open in February) or NPAT (NMIMS, also February onwards).
