What's the right time to pursue MBA? Is it after the completion of graduation or getting 2-3 years of experience in corporate fields?

If I had to go with this, I would say that completing your degree first is a better option why because once you start doing job studies hardly matters to you because you have already started working and people doing MBA want to get a good placement which you already have so, what will be the need for you to get back to studies? Once, you get a job, you gain experience which matters if a company wants to hire you then there's no point of returning back just to get a degree. Hence, for me, it's important to complete degree first then move to corporate sector because it filters your interest and gets you better opportunities to work. The main motive of every person is to earn, a person already earning would not be so keen to again pursue a course until and unless he is a studious person. But, if your degree completes, you might get chances abroad in an initial stage based on your grades.

From my personal experience, I would say work experience of 2-3 years is best before you take admission in an MBA college. This has 2 advantages: 1) Placement and summer internship placements. 2) Better learning as you can relate whatever is taught to your previous company. A number of companies shortlist students on the basis of their work experience is what I have seen in DMS, IIT-Delhi. Similar is the process of other B-Schools as well. So freshers have to sacrifice on a number of good companies similarly students with more than 3 years of experience do not get shortlisted at all. Another thing, as I mentioned you will able to relate to your previous role and role played by supervisor and managers. So, you know how a structured organisation works and understand how theoretical knowledge can be put to use in an industry. To sum up - Experience of 2-3 years is better compared to no experience at all.
