Hi


Thank you for choosing Mera career guide and writing to us. I understand you would like to do an MBA but are lacking work experience. First of all, I would like to ask you why you are attracted to an MBA? ARe you really interested in doing it or you may want to do only because your friends have been doing MBA?

Studying an MBA is highly challenging if you don't have sound work experience. MBA is a course actually designed for people who have already seen and understood the business functions. It is only recent that schools are attracting freshers to an MBA degree but I would say freshers studying an MBA will face lots of challenges compared to the ones with rich work experience.

As a fresher studying an MBA, you are surely to face two challenges. One while studying and the other one post studying.
1. Without understanding how businesses functions, you really cannot understand how your academic theories are to be applied in real business. It will be a threat to your understanding of subject. Your knowledge wouldn't get deepen this way and you will experience a saturation point very soon. You may not understand the theories they teach you and will absolutely struggle to understand how these theories are applied in business today. MBA class is an interactive class. Students will contribute to the class teachings unlike other degree levels. MBA students will work on case studies focusing on real business problems. They will try to analyse the business issue given to them and come up with solutions to address the problem. How could they be good at suggesting solutions had they not had exposure to a business environment before? Therefore, studying an MBA is rewarding only if you are exposed to business environment already.
2. Career success is an important matter post MBA. Employers prefer students with good work experience along with their MBA. So employers recruit students with experience in business world. You may be of luck to be recruited without work experience but you should have a very high % in MBA and also should be extraordinary at interview. it is challenging yet.

I suggest a PGDM is appropriate to you rather an MBA. Why dont you consider PGDM at good BSchools in India? It will be very rewarding?

I hope this helps. Good luck.
