No, to pursue regular MBA in India, you don't need to have any work experience.
For Executive MBA one should have 5-6 years of experience . -
Candidates with work experience are preferred by the colleges, but no, work experience is not necessary to get admission in a good B-school to pursue MBA. -
Hi,
well, it is not necessary to have work experience, but the candidate with work experience will get more preference by the B-schools.
All the best. -
No, it is not necessary for you to have work experience in order to pursue MBA. You can get admission in a good B-school without having any work experience. -

8 years agoNo, it is not necessary. I don't have any work experience, but I am pursuing MBA in a B-school. -
No, it is absolutely not necessary to have work experience to get admitted in any of the top B-Schools to pursue MBA, but you will definitely have an edge over many of the applicants for the same if you have a good relevant work experience. But, coming to the point, most of the weightage is for your scores, group discussion and the personal interview. -
Having work experience prior to purusing MBA will come to ones advantage at the time of campus placements. However, to seek admission in MBA ( full time) one is not required to have any work experience. The only requirement is that one should be a graduate with minimum 50% marks and should have cleared CAT. The higher the score that one gets at CAT the brighter are the chances to get admission in top MBA school. -

No, it is not necessary to have work experience in order to get admission for MBA in any of the top B-School. It is only that while evaluating various scores they give some weight-age to work experience. But without work experience also one can pursue MBA.
