Hi Counselors,

I have a question - I have 15 years of education qualification (Bcom honours) from India and I'm currently enrolled in a master's degree for my 16 years of education background. I will be applying this year in September for next year MBA intake but my first year exam of Masters is in December 2018. Will this be taken into consideration as 16 years during my application in September 2018, although I won't have taken the exams till December this year to have the 16 year background.

TIA

Hi Neesha272,

There is no one answer to your query and this completely depends on the requirements of a particular school. You could either check for individual requirements or you could even write to a few of your target schools, briefly explaining your background, credentials and exploring if you are eligible to apply. :)

Should you have any other query, feel free to write to us.

All the best! :)

What programs are you looking at? Have you also considered working in between so that you can gain some work experience? I would advise doing so, at least for some time, so that you can reach the best program for you.

Best,
