Hi ,
Hope that everyone is in good spirits.I am from India. I have overall 5.4 years of work experience in the IT industry. However, due to COVID crisis I have lost my job around 7 months back and I am facing a hard time to get any opportunity during this difficult time. I would like to pursue executive MBA offered by one of the IIMs or other reputed institutions(SPJain, Great Lakes) for improving my skill sets and for the betterment of my professional life.
However, I have few questions regarding this decision of mine.
1. Do IIMs or other institutions consider experience gap as a huge disadvantage for executive MBA programs?
2. If the experience gap is considered as a huge disadvantage in Indian institutions what are the other options should I consider, in my current situation?

Hi,
You should be able to fill your experience gap with a good story. Honesty is the key here. Everyone is losing jobs in these uncertain times and colleges also know this.
I would suggest you to go ahead and apply to all IIMs and your choice of other institutes, this year. The earlier, the better. If you wait more, your experience gap is only going to widen.
I am assuming that you have not applied in round 1 of IIMs. Just apply now and come up with a good story to present your experience gap in a way that does not downside you. You may also use it positively.
Regards and all the best!
