What is the importance of work-ex in getting selected for the IIMs?
Generally, 48-52% of the batch are freshers. That should put your mind to rest if you too are a fresher. But yes, work-ex does have some weightage, the extent of which is a matter of conjecture. The point is, it gives you an edge when facing the panel and answering such questions as ‘why MBA’, and if your had done some worthwhile work the impact is bound to be felt.
