thnx in advance to all of you

no dude, 3-4years would be ideal , they had mentioned a range and allocated some weightage to it . Only IIMB had revealed the selection criteria. i think u can find that pdf in their website . ( selection criteria for 2006 or something like that ).

very true,hey have the funda of lateral placements ...and generally the highest packages are offered to the ppl with work ex

thnx raghav nd crash,

u provided some relief to my poor soul
wen it comes to IIMs u get all sort of highly diversified nightmares....

but isnt it true dat IIM-A have more freshers in their batch,
i havnt checkd this on their site, but read it somewhr on PG

nd plz notice i m not talking about the placemnts but the selection in IIMs,

as far as placements are concerned i know laterals get preference......

hi Fakkad,
u r right that IIMA has more freshers in their batch...
but if u get to see the placement stats...u ll find that the laterals ( with relevant work experience ) are offered quite higher salaries as compared to their fresher counterparts...

on the funnier side...one of my friends in IIMC told me the fact that a software engineer's work ex isn't considered worthy if he's graduating in pure finance or pure marketing...:-)

first of all i would not even bother to think if the class has got only freshers or experienced uncles/aunties if i make into IIMA.

Well nowadays most of the B-schools have a good mix of both freshers and experienced people. I think ex or no ex should not be a hindrance to join a top B-school atleast in INDIA(except ISB ) if u do well in CAT,GD/PI . u just find a solid reason why u want to do MBA .

and not placements.
placement ki kahani to bahot doooor hai yaaar.....:neutral:

yeah Ideacrash,
that must be the spirit while preparing...:grab:

just wanted to share...one of my colleagues from the US found it very interesting that the IIMs (premier institutes in India) also admit freshers for MBA...;-)

yaar when he is saying laterals got a huge pay in the placements that means , they got admission into IIMs right , without admission u cannot sit for palcements .

U can get into any IIM with ur 3 years of work exeprience. and if ur doing MBA to boast ur experience then even better , for example u are from software industry and u wanna become a business analyst , u are in some brokerage frim and u want to move into a big investment banking and wanna handle more resposibility no body can stop u . u are a doctor and wanna own ur own nursing home, u can find a lot examples like this.

Experience is never a hindrance! I have a workex of over 5 years, and it has helped me a lot. It's just that in your interview, you'd be expected to do justice to your experience. So, expect a lot of questions about your job, your organization, your goals, etc.

he he...
your doubt is appropriate Fakkad...;-)
but i don't think one gets a preference on being a fresher as compared to an experience candidate...
