CAT 2017 Work Experience Requirement





Having a prior work experience is not a compulsory requirement for candidates appearing in CAT. The application form does ask for work experience details but it is not mandatory.



However, during the final selection of candidates, work experience is given some weightage by the IIMs. The exact weightage given to work experience is never revealed by the IIMs but it varies from IIM to IIM.



The bottom line is that work experience does not come into play till the last stage of final selection and even then it does not play a deciding factor. IIMs have been known to have a mixed batch comprising of both fresh graduates and students with work experience
