Hi, As per your query it seems that you are currently in job and your long term goal is to pursue MBA. So as per your query I would suggest you to continue with your current job and simultaneously prepare for CAT and then pursue MBA from best b-schools of India. For preparation of CAT test, you may join any good coaching institute in your city which offers quality coaching for various management entrance tests. Since you are a working professional so in that case you may prefer weekend class for preparation of CAT test. This work experience of yours would give you competitive advantage over other candidates with no work experience during MBA admission. This work experience of yours would help you to deciding which specialization to opt in MBA that can further enhance your career prospects. Plus 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 candidate over a fresher for a job. Finally if you work for some years then you may yourself manage the expenses for your further studies. 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. However you may surely continue with your job and pursue distance MBA also. I would request MSK70515 to give you detailed information regarding various advantages of pursuing distance MBA program. I hope this answers your query. If you like this answers, than please mark it as a Thumbs Up or rate it as a Best Answer. Thanks, All the Best.
