dear shalini, i strongly advise you that you work for at least two years after your graduation before you take up mba. this will help you to co-relate the theory taught in the classes with the reality you faced in your work place. i am working as a professional director in a construction company in mumbai. when i entered the mba classroom i had 11 years of working experience. no wonder many students thought i am the professor on the first day of the class! wish you all the best v p lobo
