Reg : Total WorkExperience calculation

by ritish » Thu Jun 10, 2010 4:11 am
Hi Guys,

I may be too naive in asking this question but still couldn't find the right answer for this.

Guys Please clarify me on this.

Do B-Schools consider the total work experience as the work experience till you join the program or the work experience at the time you actually apply for the school.

I was just confused as there is a substantial difference of 12 months between the two, if you are applying for Round 1 and this difference will have a huge impact on the profiles of young applicants like me.

Guys need your thoughts and inputs.

Thanks and Regards,
-Ritish.

it depends on institute....
it can either be till the time u join the program or institute might set some month before the academic year(for instance some school kept dec 09 as cut of date and their academic year starts in apr 10)

Most bschools want the work experience calculated up to when you would matriculate (i.e., start the program). They usually have clear instructions on this on their application forms.
