Do they consider number of years of experience based on the date we are applying on or on the date when the batch will commence

Varun0902 The schools consider your years of work experience as of the time the MBA program begins, not strictly as of the application submission date. But the basis of judgment still remains the quality of your career growth progression until the date of application submission, because that career history is hard coded in proof. What will happen in the period between applying and joining the batch is not something the adcoms necessarily have full control over evaluating. Although I will add one exception here, which is INSEAD. INSEAD had, for a long time, a question around what applicants planned to do after submitting the application and before joining the MBA. Even Oxford has something somewhat similar. So yes, adcoms, even when it is not explicitly asked in the application do give considerable thought to how applicants will continue enhancing their skills after submission. I know they take it seriously because it is not that uncommon for admits to these MBA programs to resign from their jobs around or just after submitting applications and start internships instead if they are targeting a significant career pivot.
