I had read somewhere, i think in my college on a pamphlet, that if someone has taken CPT then he cannot apply for OPT. Is this true?

Immigration service (USCIS) approval is not required-CPT is approved in our ISP office. You can do up to 364 days of CPT without affecting your eligibility for OPT (Optional Practical Training.) However, if you do 365 days or more of CPT, you will lose your eligibility for OPT. src:http://www.highline.edu/stuser...

is it necessary to have a job offer before we apply for CPT? Do we have to enroll for classes while on CPT?

Is it necessary to have a job offer before we apply for CPT? -Yes Do we have to enroll for classes while on CPT? - Not in summer. For other semesters you might have to ask your international advisor.
