Hii..

Unlike a 2-year MBA in India, MBA colleges abroad expect students to have had substantial exposure to the working world. Here’s why work experience is important for MBA abroad.


In fact, they’d expect not only technical skills (that are easier to gain in junior roles), but also managerial skills (like team leading, planning, coordination). This allows the graduates of foreign MBA colleges to get mid and senior management level jobs that pay high salaries.

Some top MBA schools are willing to look at exceptional applicants who don’t have any experience, but this is rare. 

Thus work experience is recommended. 

Hope it helps.

Hello Rupa,

We understand your concern. Please note that most abroad MBA programmes do not need any prior work experience. Most MBA programmes are about for 5 years and this include one year interrnship which helps you gain hands-on experience on the things which you have learnt already.All the best!
