Why do top universities prefer candidates with work experience for their MBA programmes? Most top univerities in the world prefer candidates with work experience for their MBA programmes.Why so?
It is always better to do an MBA when you have some practical knowledge of how an organization works. If a fresh graduate joins an MBA course, she might understand the theoretical aspects, but might not be able to relate the knowledge to real life situations. A person who has worked for sometime will definitely be able to understand the workings of an organization better and will be able to connect theoretical concepts to the way an actual organization functions. Possibly, that is the reason why most top B-schools prefer candidates with work experience.
