Hi,
As per your query it seems that you wish to pursue full time MBA or PGDM program so regarding this please remember work experience is not a mandatory eligibility criteria for admission in top B-schools of India.
However these B-schools do give weightage to work experience during MBA admission.
So if you wish to get admission in top B-schools then I would suggest you to work for 2-3 years and then opt for MBA.
The advantage of this step would be:
- You will gain relevant work experience.
- After working for few years you will know which specialization to opt in MBA that can further enhance your career prospects.
- Candidates with work experience will have competitive advantage over other candidates with no work experience during MBA admission.
- This work experience of yours will also be an added advantage for you during campus recruitment in MBA, as most companies would surely prefer an experience person over a fresher for a job.
- Finally if you work for some years then you may yourself manage the expenses for your further studies.
Please note that, the final selection in full time MBA or PGDM program is made on the basis of:
1. Education background of the students. i.e. 50% marks in graduation.
2. Score in various management entrance tests like CAT, MAT, XAT, etc
3. Performance in group discussions and personal interview.
4. Work experience if any.
5. Other activities like participating in various event like debates, quiz, extra curricular activities, etc.
