Hi sunilb

The international experience is a plus. ECA is not a big factor for IIMC (the NGO work helps, though the event organization carries limited value). Overall, if you can raise your score a bit do so. You should have a decent chance with a strong app.

Hi Ushabagadi

Hello again. You should check with IIMC, because they generally like applicants to have below 12 years of experience.

Dear Ushabagadi,

Please refer to the current batch profile.
https://www.iimcal.ac.in/class-of-2020

The current batch has 16% students with work experience of more than 11 years. So your work experience wont be discouraged in any way.

The admissions committee looks holistically at each and every application. GMAT score is one of the criteria. So give your GMAT and prepare a good application.

Regards,
SAC

1. We have a lot of students with work experience in the range of 6 years, so your current work experience would not hinder your chances of admission in MBAEx program.
