Is work exp. absolutely important for an MBA ?

post in ur opinion .... how much do you work exp is helpful ?? or is it better to finish studying right after college so that one wouldn't get diverted and lose interest in studying an MBA

Depends upon you..if you can crack an entrance-exam (CAT in our country) immediately after college, then just go...do it!

for some colleges it is mandantory.
but i think it depends on the person, i am IT Person n am doing Buiness managment master.

Well.......if the question is abt importance of work-ex from a learning or an understanding point of view, I guess having a work-ex would enhance your understanding of concepts, but it isn't mandatory nywayz......

its good to expose to real life issues in the corporate sector before taking up the MBA..

i feel work exp. is very important before one goes for MBA because then one can relate the concepts with the real life scenarios.

work ex doent matter if u r doin mba frm a top college
but yes if u r doin mba frm a clge frm whr any1 cn do then wrk ex is a must

It is highly recommended to have work exp. before doing MBA.
Finally it is individual's call.

I feel yes. person with work experience perform better and absorb better because of previous exp in some working area. Without exp people take time to absord and put lot of effort to understand the concept of management

Yep, absolutely... In fact it is one of the most important factor for a good career... It is said that wisdom without experience is meaningless. Theory is to be applied in practise to achieve perfection and this state could be attained only with constant practice and actual field work.
