Hi,
I just completed 1 year of working as a professional (July 2022). Currently I'm studying for the GMAT and plan to give it by late this year or early 2023 and start applying to business schools in 2023 (by then I'll have 2 years of experience).
My question is, should I apply to MiM programs or MBA programs, since by the time I join the business school in 2024, I'll have had 3 years of experience and most MiM programs suggest students to have 0-2 years of experience whereas the average age of MBA programs is about 5 years?
If somebody could help me with my dilemma, it would be really helpful.
Thanks!!

The years of work experience counted on the application are till the time you submit your application.
Since you are applying for 2024 intake, you will have 2 years and 2 months of work experience given you submit your application in September, Round 1.
Many schools do have a hard limit of 2 years of work experience for their MIM program. But, a few schools do accept work experience up to 3 years. You might try and search for these schools.
You can't exactly apply for MBA unless you are applying for 2025 intake, that too at a few schools.
Most MBA programs have an average of 5 years of work experience, like M7 schools. So, do consider it all.
Good luck.

Hi, thank you for the information.
If you have an idea about this, do HEC Paris and Insead MiM programs, in particular, have a hard limit of 2 years? I did read on the website that the preferred work experience is upto 2 years but I don't know if they consider applicants with a little more experience or not (2 yrs 2 months in my case).
