Is work experience required for the Nova SBE MiM?

Question

Jayant M · Accepted Answer

No, you don&rsquo;t need work experience for the Nova SBE MiM. The school openly targets applicants with 0&ndash;2 years of experience, so applying straight after your degree is completely normal. Most students come in with only internships or small part-time roles, and that&rsquo;s enough for Nova to judge basic exposure.
What matters more is steady academics and a clear reason for choosing the MiM, not whether you&rsquo;ve worked full-time. If you&rsquo;re anywhere in that 0&ndash;2 year window, you&rsquo;re already the kind of profile they expect.

Most applicants only have internships or campus projects.
Full-time jobs help, but only as an extra, not a requirement.
Motivation and academic consistency matter more.

Anyone applying straight from college fits exactly into the group Nova usually admits.
