Does work experience increase chances of making it to a reputed school?
Work experience is not a mandatory criterion for making it any B Schools; the minimum criterion being similar to the CAT. However, having one does add to your profile. None the less, you need to prove your worth at the time of the GD/PI rounds. This implies that the panel needs to be convinced about what you have learnt at the job and contributed positively to the organization. The way you present yourself and approach the questions plays a vital role in getting you selected or rejected. Remember, you will be pitched against the best of minds during the GD/PI rounds. So you need to be at your best to make sure you get the final call.
