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.
