Commonly asked questions
The duration of work experience vary from institute to institute. However, the aspirants must note that too many (over five years) or too less (one year or less) work experience are considered appropriate. If you have over 5 years of work experience, then EMBA programme is more suitable for you.
In most of the MBA colleges, the weightage of GD/PI for admission is higher than or equal to entrance exam score. At several IIMs, while CAT score has 30 percent weightage, GD/PI has 40 percent weightage. At non-IIMs too, more weightage is given to GD/PI as shortlisting of candidates is mainly based on personality assessment, to judge whether the candidate can be a good manager or not.
Many MBA colleges in India including the IIMs have the provision of deferral. Which means you can block a seat in the college upon final selection and join the course in the next batch (a year later). However, the candidates must check the rules and regulations of their desired institute before applying to confirm whether it offers this provision.
