If you have work experience then your work experience will be counted by CAT and lots of colleges prefer candidates with work experience for PGDM programme. -

6 years agoHello Puli Madhav,
It's very nice to hear from you that you are interested in doing your MBA after completion of graduation in engineering. The minimum prescribed marks are 50% for general category students. No, there is no requirement of any work experience to appear for CAT. It's expected that the procedure will begin in the month of July.
Best wishes.
