BPO Experience in MBA
Q: Is my 2 year BPO work experience relevant for admissions into B-Schools?
In general since there are many candidates from the BPO industry applying after their GMAT that there is a perception that BPO jobs are not good enough. If you can demonstrate through your essays your career progress and how you are different from others then definitely you have a chance over others. Lastly, admission in such schools is based on a number of factors: GMAT, work experience, education, diversity, extra-curriculum… So if you are weak in one focus on other areas to strengthen your profile.
In general however 2 years is too less for you to have a significant probability in getting through to a top 50 schools.
But than as its said that Bpo experience is not counted by many b-schools in India, its not the same in other univs outside it depends on case to case basis and job profile..
