Hey Vaibhav, Yes as you said 1 or 2 years of work experience is was the top B-Schools Except from the students, so either you can go to work for 1 or 2 years & side by side you can prepare for exam, But at the same time in all the top B-Schools every year 30+ percentage of students are freshers, so its up to you to decide what you want to do. The Best choice is to gain some work experience before joining a B-School.
Sir which type of job should considered as work ex sir please can you tell me if u take a simple job in my district would be considered as work ex along with preparing for car 2024
Hey Ganesh, Keep trying, try out on sites like linkedin etc. The goal is keep trying for a job - incase you can't find one despite your best efforts, you can state the same in the interview. Hope this helps. Best Wishes!

Hello sir... Could please help me with the following... Yesterday xat response sheet came out... but not the answer key... I used cracku score calculator and got 29. What could be my percentile... Is there a possibility for a call from xlri... Will that percentile be enough for great lakes...
I have two year break, in lockdown I completed my graduation but didn't want to study further and than I started my business of nail art products ( It wasn't planned) now I want to know more about marketing and business that's why I want to do MBA. Is this reason justified for gap year? Please help me
Hi Simran. Launching your own business is definitely a justified reason and it won't even be considered a gap. What you need to evaluate is whether you were involved in it, full time and across the entire two years. The answer will need to be framed accordingly. If you decide to appear for CAT or other exams, please ensure to get a job or continue working on your business so that the gap doesn't increase. All the best!
Hi Prajwal, You can answer by telling them that you were not satisfied with the result, and hence decided to give it another shot. Do try to keep it real by answering why you actually took the gap year and you should be okay. Hope this helps. Best Wishes!
Hey Advyet, It might come up if you're selected for interview since interviews are conducted around March. We strongly recommend CAT aspirants to try and find a job simultaneously while preparing for CAT. Hope this helps. Best Wishes!
And i go for the job as well after my graduation in the month of June or July , then will I be able to focus on my Cat and other Entrance Exam with that Hectic schedule or not . And do you think any Company will offer me the job for that short duration of 5 to 6 months or less than that and will provide me leave(preparatory) for my exams in the early stages of the job and training process.
Sir having a back in graduation final sem and then took 1 year xtra to complete it.. Is it called as gap year? And if interviewer's have questions related this then what will be the perfect answer??

Same query Sir
But is it necessary to do a job to get into a Good College or can I go as a Fresher as well?
And i go for the job as well after my graduation in the month of June or July , then will I be able to focus on my Cat and other Entrance Exam with that Hectic schedule or not .
And do you think any Company will offer me the job for that short duration of 5 to 6 months or less than that and will provide me leave(preparatory) for my exams in the early stages of the job and training process.
Im wondering currently i do standup full time so is that considered as work experience?
Hey Jake,
If you have an Experience Certificate & Pay slips from the company which you work, they will consider it as a Work Ex only 😂
Best Wishes!
Sir I have query for work ex as a proof work ex certificate and can we show bank statement insted of salalry silp .
Sir..
I took a gap year due to Upsc preparation , is it necessary to mention in SOP or just save it for PI
There is no harm in mentioning it. Selection panels are used to students who take gap years for UPSC.
Thankyou sir for replying
