Hi All,

It's deepak. I have completed my B.E. in 2004. And after that i have worked as a lecturer(part time). and after 3 years also i have joined a IT company now for 2 years. But now i want to do my mba. so i am going to appear for CAT next year and want to quit my job.


So, my question is if i show my work exp. as zero years while filling the cat form, will it be ok? or it will affect my admission to top tier B-schools as a long gap is there after my Graduation in engineering.


If i can show the work exp. as zero then how to handle the gap (as after quiting from the IT company i won't be able get a work exp, as it was here a 3 year contract).

So, please suggest me all possible scenarios as i am very eager for a career shift now.


Thanks in advance.
