Should I work for a year after completing my graduation in BBA and during that year start preparing for CAT ?
IIMs shortlist candidates for the interview stage based on their own criteria, which may be independent of each other. The process may include Written Ability Test, Group Discussion, and Personal Interviews. Performance in the CAT examination is an important component in the admission process. IIMs may additionally use other factors such as the previous academic performance of the candidates, relevant work experience, gender and academic diversity and other similar inputs in shortlisting and ranking of candidates at various stages of the admission process. The processes, academic cut-offs and the weights allocated to the evaluation parameters may vary across IIMs. And so most IIMs do not consider work experience less than 18 months. So if you want to work, you should atleast work for 18 months to put it on your CV and meanwhile you can prepare for CAT.
