Experience, not Talent

It is said that the problem with MBA in India is they also take fresher (who don’t have any experience of working in corporate world). And that is absolutely true. There should be a ratio of work experience and non-work Ex people.

But it has been consistently seen that freshers are better as far as communication skills, scores in exams and energy level are concerned. This is because work-Ex people in entrance test score less in written Test, GD/PI but have extra marks for work Ex.

Instead of having No. of years as work Ex there should be a test to check the maturity and business acumen of candidates. The oldest 5% (No. of years of Work-Ex) candidates in majority of cases are worse on other fronts like: communication skills, use of technology, creativity, zeal. Undoubtedly there are exceptions to it.
