Master of Business Administration is one of the largely sought after courses for fresh graduates from any field. In fact, aspirants who do not have a management background also demonstrate interest in pursuing MBA.

A global MBA programme not only introduces the aspirant to a diverse perspective but also enhances his practical knowledge.

Apart from other requirements such as GMAT score and academic performance, prior work experience is one of the major elements of the application for MBA.
