Do MBA with or without job experience?

MBA is to enhance our skills to catalyse our career growth rate...so it doesn't matter whether u r experienced r not.
 
I think MBA should be done after getting some real world experience. Then it would be usefull to apply working experiences on the theories.. no need to imagine what the books are saying, one would see the meaning of the words in the book as they read it with own experience.
 
I believe experience does matter. As with experience one has already understood the basic corporate ethics and people behaviour. With a good practical experience when one joins a MBA college he/she tends to relate/apply all the theories taught in class upfront.
 
i agree with Sheeba, but there are pros and cons to both, when u have experience (considerable atleast 3-4 years) and join a college u are more in tune with the concepts that they teach as most cases we have either seen or been through in our career.
but then in most tier 2 colleges it doesnt help to have exp during the placements, and therefore it causes a little heart burn then. But the learning is definitely more.
 
I really feel that there is no hard and fast rule that one has to be a job-holder to know the basics of mba...infact on-hands experience will fetch u understanding the topics easily, but that doesnt mean that u cannot learn the topics without a job-experience.
 
yes..i do believe that experience is very important as far as the current scenerio of competition is concerned....
 
If I had to answer in just one word, I would say "NO"

Get some experience, understand business first hand. If you do not know ABCD and someone gives you a jigsaw puzzle consisting of all 26 alphabets and tells you to put it in sequence, how would you feel?

That's the same feeling you would get if you did an MBA without business experience. If you don't want to do a job, start a startup.
