Top- and Mid- Tiered B-schools\nI would recommend at least 3 years of work experience for two reasons.  First, you will contribute more and understand better in b-school classroom discussions with more work experience.  Second, you will find it a lot easier to find jobs once out of b-school because most recruiters are looking for MBA-hires with a decent amount of experience.  Admissions at B-schools know these two points so they tend to hire folks with 3-5 years of relevent experience.\n\nWith that said, 1 year of work experience is enough if you have a combination of these attributes:\n- Achieve a high GMAT score;\n- You are a superstar at a well-respected company (Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Toyota, United Technologies, Procter & Gamble, Yahoo!, etc.);\n- Have a good story to tell (in your admissions essay) on how your MBA is necessary to reach your next career goal;\n- Other pluses: Demonstrate that you're fun and interesting, good recommendation letter, awards & scholarships, etc.\n\nAll other B-schools\n0 - 1 year of work experience is enough along with a decent GMAT score.

Have you considered Executive MBA programs from good institutes like IIMs ? If you are close to them, they may be something worthwhile. \n\nYou should also inform your employer about your intentions to do MBA. You are incrasing your market value, but you are also increasing your value to them. Your employer may offer to pay part of the tuition / give you more leeway with time etc. \n\nI am a bit curious - if you have almost finalized to do MBA through that institute, why are you asking for information on other places ?

Not me -- I have a BS in Accounting and an MBA with a concentration in Mgmt Information Systems and this has been a GREAT combination for me for nearly 25 years.  It was a slow go in the beginning but as I got experience and momentum in my career I've been doing quite well for myself to the point where I've enough cash to have my own business.  [note -- i did very well in NY which according to your account ID you may be from there as well.]

MBA pulls from a wide pool of educational backgrounds. As a matter of fact, an MBA with a technical background in science related is a highly sort after candidate both in the top program and amongst employers. You do not need to worry about having the right job for an MBA program if you intend to pursue it in the U.S. The determinig factors will be years of experience, GMAT scores and what the candidate contributes to classroom learning (your education, international work experience, industry, diversity etc)

Neither... MBA. You have enough computer skills. They are common now. It's the business acumen that will now set you apart.

Whether you want to study further or work depends on how you are placed in life right now, \n\nIf you have any financial difficulty it would be better to take up some BPO work and start earning. Else complete ur MBA and then look for a job.

There's little real difference.  Assuming that you're talking about an MBA, 3 or 4 years is comparatively slow.  Most MBA programs can be completed in 18 - 24 months of full-time study.  Many MBA candidates are already working and therefore take longer as they're studying part-time.  At the end of the day, there's no difference based on the amount of time taken to complete the degree.

It helps. But in some areas like business, employers would employ some one with a bachelor's degree straight from college at an entry level. To do an MBA well you need to have some business experience to leverage on.

I got my MBA just before my xxth birthday.  As Dear Abby used to say, "And how old would you be in three years if you don't get that degree?" She was right.  You can be three years older without the degree, or with it. \nI am very glad I did it - I basically started a whole new (and more lucrative) career in finance, but my electical engineering background helps immensely.  \nTwo recommendations: 1) pick the absolutely best school you can - don't go to the community college or you'll be wasting your valuable time, 2) consider strongly leaving your current job/company when you get your degree - that's the only way to capture your new value.

Depends on what you want to do with your life. Nothing wrong with a BA, but a BA in combination with an MBA is a strong basis from which to work in many fields.\n\nIn many fields a good MBA means a promotion and pay raise (management, finance, etc). There has been some concern that there are too many MBAs, but the MBA is still de rigour for management in larger companies.\n\nOne suggestion that I have is to go to as prestigious a college as you can to get your MBA. The big firms do pay some attention to where you get your degree. Get your degree from an AACSB accredited program http://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/.\n\nHope this helps!

You are saying,\n\nYor are confused, studying at B.B.A. on your 2nd year as a open student because you didn't complete your intermediate. you want to do M.B.A. as a regular student in chennai after completeing your B.B.A. You Father is saying to stop BBA because it is an open university, and this is not a valuable degree, and that MBA as a regular you cant get a job without intermediate. \n       YOU want to know if you can get a job if you complete MBA? Get a degree or not? or follow your father: dont get a degree?\n................\nI would say get the degree, degrees help get a better job then not having a degree. BUT if your father is paying for the degree then get a job that fits you hours! hope this helps you and people that try to answer your question!

Most of the better MBA programs prefer you to have a few years' work experience before starting the program.  Two or three years ought to be enough.  With an accounting degree today, that shouldn't be a problem, because the job market for accountants is better than ever today.  I'd recommend taking a job for a few years and then go back for the MBA later.

I would highly recommend that you work for a few years before pursuing a graduate degree like an MBA.  You'll get a much better feel for the areas in which you'd like to work, plus the real world experience is invaluable when you're studying theory in school.  In the financial areas, such as investment and banking, an MBA would be almost mandatory to obtain a good career position.

I know a few people who have completed theor MBA from top business schools and they all have fantastic jobs now. I don't think it is guaranteed but it definitely puts you a cut above the rest
