Yes, you can pursue an MBA without prior work experience, especially in India. Many top business schools, including IIMs, accept fresh graduates into their MBA programs.

While work experience is not mandatory, having strong internships, volunteer work, or significant academic projects can strengthen your application. Admissions committees look for leadership, initiative, and clear career goals, even if you haven't worked professionally.

If you need tailored advice on your profile or application strategy, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
