Will IIMs/MDI/IIFT consider 2 years of family business experience as valid work ex? (GNEM 8/7/6)
Profile:
GNEM
BCA Graduate
10th/12th/UG: 8/7/6
2 years working in my father's surgical equipment distribution/reselling business
Business is GST-registered and licensed
My role has mainly involved sales, customer handling, follow-ups, and occasional field visits
I receive monthly payments from the business account
My concern is regarding work experience validation. Since this is a family business, I don't have a typical corporate setup. The work is genuine, but the workload has varied and wasn't always a standard 9-5 job.
If I can provide:
Experience letter
GST/business registration documents
Bank statements showing monthly payments
will top B-schools (IIMs, MDI, IIFT, SPJIMR, etc.) consider this valid work experience?
Also, I'm currently preparing for CAT and my mock scores are looking decent and improving steadily. Assuming I end up with a strong CAT percentile, what colleges would realistically be within reach for an 8/7/6 GNEM profile with 2 years of family-business experience?
Would appreciate honest feedback, especially from people who have shown family business experience during MBA admissions.
