If I have not pursued an MBA in India, can I do an internship first and then apply for MBA programs abroad for a MIM?
Yes, you can do an internship before applying for MBA programs abroad. Most MBA programs prefer candidates with 2 - 3 years of full-time work experience, but some accept applicants with less experience if they have strong academics and leadership potential.
If you have limited work experience, you may also consider Master in Management (MiM) programs, which are designed for recent graduates and typically do not require prior work experience.
Gaining relevant skills and experience through internships can strengthen your application. For personalized guidance on suitable programs, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
