Hi Shalin, i m myself an MBA aspirant i was intially thinking of doing mba just after college with a 1 yr prep but while preparing 4 entrance i was totally unaware of importance of work ex. most coll dont state the importance of work ex. but during gds n pi they r sidelined 4 a guys with n also during placements 1 with work-ex (normally 2-3 yrs work-ex is ideal) gets better packages compared 2 freshers. even 1 cant predict whether s/he would crack entrance in first attempt so its preferable 2 try cracking entrance exams along with ur job. so u r aware of my suggestion to u, ya would b to get a good job , agood job means job relatimg with ur graduating field. so all d best n take descision that u seem right.
