Is the academic factor considered for my MBA application abroad given my backlogs and work experience?

Yes, your academic record - including your backlogs and graduation percentage - is considered for MBA applications abroad. Having 19 backlogs and a 53% in your B.Tech may be a concern for some programs, as many prefer a stronger academic history.
However, your 48 months of work experience is a significant strength. Many MBA programs value professional experience, especially if you can show career growth and leadership.
To improve your chances:
- Address academic gaps with extra courses or certifications if possible. - Highlight your professional achievements and leadership in your application. - Use your essays to explain academic challenges and show your growth.
