I Had a query:
In the application it asks to provide total months of work + internship.
Full time roles
I attended their webinar recently and I’m positive they mentioned full time internships counting towards work experience, you might look at mba applications since you would have a good shot at it aswell

They said 2 years work ex is suitable for mba not the mim since mim is for freshers or less than 2 years of work ex

Part time internships however don’t count towards the 2 years is also something they mentioned if I recall correctly

They said it will be considered for mba , I think the website also mentions this along with their webinars

Is it’s 2+ then they suggest mba rather than mim since eligibility for mim is less than 2 years

Again part time internships don’t count towards this , only full time job / internships

Since it’s an average People who apply could also be on the lower and higher ends

I suggest you check out thier webinars cause this quetion was asked there and this is what they said that they strongly suggest you to apply for mba and not the mim if it’s 2+ years of worked

One suggestion that can help you is that before recording, you'll typically have 30 to 60 seconds to prepare. Make the most of that time by jotting down the key points you want to cover. This will help you stay focused and ensure your response is clear and structured. It also adds a more natural, personal touch to your delivery.

It’s fine to glance at your notes during the recording, but aim for a balance between using them and maintaining eye contact with the camera. Good luck .

That's what separates MBA programs from MS. If you want to do MS ideally it is done shortly after your bachelor's. But if you wish to go for MBA route, then Bschools expect you to spend some time in the industry - 3 to 5 years - and then think about applying. :-)
