Top colleges with International Exposure in Mumbai

MBA admissions officers look for candidates with international experience because it shows
that they have international exposure and are capable of thinking from a global perspective.
An MBA program made up of students with different international experiences also make for
a better and more diverse classroom experience. Read on to learn how to showcase your
international experience on your MBA application, as well as how to gain more international
experience. Get all information related to admissions, fees, courses, placements, reviews &
more on MBA/PGDM in International Business colleges in India to help you decide which
college you should be targeting for MBA/PGDM in International Business admissions in
India.

While international experience is not a requirement for admission into the top MBA
programs, it will definitely help your application. Most MBA applicants have some sort of
international experience -- either through travel or work -- so showing that you have
international experience will help you stay competitive with other applicants. Travel and
international work experience also provide great material for MBA essays. If you are an
international MBA applicant, it is even more important for you to demonstrate your
international experience. The MBA admissions committee needs to make sure that you will
be able to survive to live in the US for the duration of your MBA program.

International work experience will show the admissions committee that you are able to adjust
to other cultures and work with a diverse group of classmates -- skills you'll need in order to
attend business school in another country. The first step in demonstrating your international
experience is to take inventory of your experiences traveling abroad and working with people
in other countries. Even if you've never worked outside of your home country, you may still
have international work experience. Have you ever trained an employee who works overseas
or collaborated with co-workers in another country? That counts as international experience.

Look back on your work and personal experience to see how you have interacted with people
from other countries. If you find that you do not have any international experience, don't
worry. Lack of international experience won't necessarily bar you from getting into an MBA
program. You also have some options: using the MBA essay to explain your lack of
international experience or traveling to get international experience. If you choose to go the
essay route, explain how an MBA will help you gain the international experience you need to
achieve your goals. If you are interested in gaining more international experience through
traveling abroad, try to go on a trip that involves volunteering or education instead of just
sightseeing. This will make a stronger case to the admissions committee that you are
globally-minded and able to work with people from other cultures.
