Hi All, I am planning to take up CAT in 2024 and assuming I qualify, I will be in the 2025-27 batch. I would have 4-5 years of work experience by then and of 27 years of age. I know globally people pursue an MBA after a minimum of 5 years of work experience, but how is the scenario in India. To ask more plainly, would a per of 27 years of age not be suitable for a 2 year PGP Program. How is the age diversity in MBA Programs.

Also, I'm reading a lot of people mentioning that having a higher work experience could affect negatively at placements (both internships and final year) - As companies would prefer students with an average of 2 years of work experience. Is this wholly true - Would love to have your inputs on this as articles on the internet tend to be on personal experience compared to what is the ground reality.
Also would it be more wise to pursue an Executive MBA then as compared to a regular 2 year MBA at the age of 27 with around 4-5 years of experience?
Thank you.
