One of the most significant trends sweeping the Indian management education domain is the significant importance being attached to prior work-experience of MBA candidates.
Overwhelming percentage of students at IIMs and other top-schools are candidates with some prior work experience.
In the fresh data shared by IIM-L with MBAUniverse.com, a whopping 89% of candidates admitted to the Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) have some prior work experience. Significantly, just a year ago, only 50% of the batch admitted to PGP 2007-2009 were candidates with work-experience.
Informs IIM-L, “The total number of experienced students in 2007-2009 batch were 122 (50.41%) which has increased to 274 (89.25%) for 2008-2010 batch. This is an increase of around 49% in the total number of experienced students.”
As per the IIM-L batch-profile of PGP 2008-10, of the 307 students, there are only 30 female students. Last year the number stood at 14 female students. There are 24 NRI students as well. As much as 93% of the batch at IIM-L is made of students with engineering degree.
IIM-L has also admitted 5 students who have some physical disability, thereby become a more inclusive institution.

B-Schools are increasingly roping in a number of younger and lesser-experienced MBA aspirants.Ross Geraghty delves deeper into this trend while mentioning that it is still advisable to gain considerable work experience before enrolling for a business programme.
Unlike for most educational courses, for an admission to an MBA course,a minimum of three years of work experience in a managerial role is crucial. This figure can be higher in some cases.
In rare cases will a institute accept recent graduates. This, too, is done for exceptionally talented students.

IFIM school offers MBA programme
MOST MBA programmes offered these days insist on work experience from the candidates. Even institutes that do not ask for experience as eligibility condition and give preference to candidates who have worked in a management position. How does work experience make a difference to MBA programme?
Offering an 18-month MBA exclusively for working professionals in partnership with the city-based IFIM Business School, the AUT University New Zealand provides an answer: Freshers, who are exposed to only theory, will not have a context to apply them. An MBA develops analytical frameworks and it does not give answers.
For many Indians, life is about moving from one orbit to another, with most of us trying to jump to a higher orbit at every opportunity.
Each higher level promises more financial security, prosperity, satisfaction and happiness. This is exactly what admission into a B-school promises, at least in the Indian context — a magical gateway to a new world.
Essentially, what you gain from an MBA is confidence — an invaluable commodity in today’s competitive environment — as well as the ability to work harder and without sleep, also an asset in today’s corporate sphere.

Tom Starin doesn't begin to meet most recruiters' expectations of the perfect M.B.A. candidate. Unlike most M.B.A. students, he has almost no work experience besides summer internships. He graduated just this spring from Pennsylvania State University, with a bachelor's degree in meteorology and a minor in global business strategy.

His high Graduate Management Admission Test score (710) certainly helped. But what really made the 22-year-old applicant stand out was a successful
