    To get a call, you don't need experience. Calls at IIMs are generally given on the basis of CAT percentile and scores in 10, 12 and graduation. IIM-C focusses more on your score in CAT. In order to convert your call and make it, you need a balanced scorecard which involves your GDPI performance, work experience and extra curricular activities. Though there are several freshers at IIM-C too but with work experience, you can make the cut inspire of lower scores in other parameters. Also, work experience helps you with shortlists during summer and final placement.

    No, it is not at all compulsory to have job experience to get an interview call from IIMC, but having a work experience gives you some brownie points while considering for admission. Currently, 23% of the students don't have any work experience.

    For IIM job experience counts lot. It's not necessary and compulsion but yes the panelist are impressed if its in your CV that I have worked under this company for particular years. This will make them believe that yes you can handle stress with academics and personal things.
