Hello folks,
I'm adding question again as I couldn't really clear our the confusion earlier.
I'm 23 and i've graduated in 2018 and have an year if work experience as a Fraud analyst and I decided to not work further. I'm planning to take gmat this year and apply for the round 1 or 2 applications for the 2021 LBS or HEC MiM intakes. Could please help me out on how to approach this or should I go for an MBA cause I'll turn 24 after this year and is my analysis wrong?

Hi Wassy ..
Welcome to GmatClub.
What is the reason of leaving the job? What is your plan after that?
What will you write in professional accomplishments when you don't have a job?
You need to prepare for GMAT and it will require some time (3-4 months on average). For the mentioned schools, you need at least 700. Try to score near 750 for better chances. In my personal opinion, you are making things difficult for you by leaving the job. Change the job if you are unhappy to continue there. Research - MiM vs MBA. List down the benefits of both and align with your career goals. You are young. For MBA, you have a lot of time to write GMAT, make some accomplishments in work and personal, join social-cause, volunteering, sports, etc.

Hi Wassy,
Regardless of whether you apply for an MBA Program or an MiM Program, studying for the GMAT now - well in advance of when you'll actually "need" your Score - is a smart choice. Based on your prior posts, it appears that you've already spoken with an Admissions Expert about your plans and know some of the potential issues that you might face. Thus, it might help to really think about what you want your future Degree to do for you and what type of career path you want to follow. Once you've defined those plans, you should be able to generally plan out how the next several years of your life/school/career needs to go.
Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
