Re: Is work experience helpful before doing MBA?

** Of course you can appear for CAT, MAT, XAT entrances even though you didn't have 60% aggregate in your academics

** Only thing I would like to say is, Some Universities and colleges needs 60% aggregate in your academics in order to give you admission

** So after you have qualified and applying to the colleges for admissions then only you will face this problem(Lack of 60% in your academics)

** So happily write CAT, MAT, XAT exams

Re: Is work experience helpful before doing MBA?

Hello dear friend,
Well,first of all let me convey you that many people any rush into MBA immediately after graduation is true but many others do it after doing some job for some experience and then go for MBA is also true.........
work experience in a organisation as a professional increases the understanding of the organisation and after that stepping into MBA will give you immense knowledge,because you already understood the necessities drawbacks etc., in your job and you can compare them while studying......
This is one of such cause:-
Because Management with good understanding or organisational functionality is preferred than management with just knowledge of business........
Hope this helps...

Re: Is work experience helpful before doing MBA?

Hi dear,

Work experience in before MBA is helpful and productive in that case when you have taken it in managerial or administration side. For example you work in an institution in a managerial team or as an executive, obviously you will be forced to have a MBA degree after some years (means it is impossible for you to wait for 10 years!!). So in order to get increment you have to do MBA.
However at graduation level, a student have apparently two option , either he go for a job or another degree. So if you have opportunity for a better college then you should go for a better college but if it is not in your hand then you should do a job and meanwhile always be in touch with institutions which offer MBA(either via regular or correspondence mode). At right time of your experience , just enroll yourself in MBA. In this case , if the college has potential enough then your name will be the first among the list of students who got placed in companies.

Thanks

hi friend,the best idea is to go for a job for 2 to 3 years after the graduation .Then you can do your MBA.It will be helpful for yu to get a good job as you have also gained experience.The other best way is to study in part time or correspondence which would not affect your job at the same time you can study.
Good Luck.

Re: Is work experience helpful before doing MBA?

Most individuals pursing an MBA are already in the workforce. While work experience is not a requirement, is does give the coursework much more meaningfulness. This is not to sway you from pursuing the MBA without work experience, but understand that you will have to pay particular attention to what students and faculty discuss within the classroom and do not assume until you have all the facts.

Re: Is work experience helpful before doing MBA?

yes...defeneitly...your work experience counts a lot before you apply for your management degree...the recruiters will obviously rely more on you than the inexperienced...the company also prefers experienced people over the inexperienced...after 5 year experience you can also apply for executive MBA..

Re: Is work experience helpful before doing MBA?

Hi!!!!
Before doing MBA working experience is really helpful. Nowadays there is too much rush about MBA.So if you go for MBA while having experience than you will definitely sure your top carrior.
Most of freshers go for MBA after graduation but if anyone go after 2-3 years experience than that person's carrior is safe.
My suggestion is that just do MBA after having atleast two years experience than and also there is no limit to do MBA. You can do any time. But do with your job. Nowadays there is 1 year executive MBA program is also availabe for the person who has almost have 3 to 6- years, depends on a choise of institution whatever you chose.
NIIT and IGNOU also providing this kind of MBA and thats really helpful for experienced guys and get better chance.

with best wishes

Re: Is work experience helpful before doing MBA?

Now a days people are opting MBA toget a good job,but they themselves are not aware what they actually want to do.one can persue MBA after doing job for a period of time, work experience is helpfull. but i feel that one should first do his/her MBA & then go for a job because after MBA u'll be aware of that "what u have to manage"..and then u'll get a quality work experience..

Re: Is work experience helpful before doing MBA?

Hi,
work experience is always helpful in every way, its always productive, but here its kind of helpful but not completely helpful. reason being, if u pursue MBA first then job opportunities will as usual increases. The value of work experience increases or we may say its beneficial in every aspect as u have the master degree course with job experience. Without MBA u'll not get up to mark job, MBA with a good work experience will just make ur C.V glitter like star, so if u want to do a job pls pursue MBA first.
thank you

Re: Is work experience helpful before doing MBA?

Carrying work experience while doing MBA can definitely help to understand the theories and terminologies well as you can always relate them with the actual scenarios faced or seen. It also differs as per the work profile, type of organization, etc. accordingly. But the practical knowledge can anyways help to gain better understanding while learning managerial concepts.

dear friend,

doing MBA is now a days best for every one who want to make money and want an AC cabin early.

MBA counts those which is full time course from best institutes.otherwise rest of all more or less same.and experience is an essential thing for MBA persons.You will have to work about 3-4 years and gain work experience in the business field before getting your MBA.

some of those companies want fresh students who are just out of college because of their fresh mind and good CAT or MAT score.

i suggest you experience MBA are most valuable.
good luck.
