Hello Aspirant,

Consideration wise any work experience is acceptable as long as its full time salaried.

However, if your hidden aspect of the question is that which are preferred work.

Previous ex. from core industries and banking are given high priority. In banking too, back-office ex. is not preferred that much. However, such as that of Analyst, IB, Corporate Banking are desired.

Similarly, Consulting ex. is also preferred. Consulting esp. at Strategic level is given priority over functional consulting (Operation Consulting, HR Consulting, etc.). Start-up ex. is also good.

Typical IT ex., banking such as that IBPS PO, market research, teaching types of ex., etc. are not desired ones.

In nutshell, impactful ex. is preferred.

These are just some of the pattern observed so far. However, there is no any such hard and fast rule as a lot depends upon batch composition in mind, and available pool of resources.
