Work Experience Relevance

Hi, I wanted to ask if work experience or internship experience during college counts as work experience for CAT/IIM admissions.

I graduated this year and have 10 months of full-time work experience in my 1st year of college and around 7–8 months of internship experience in my 3rd year.

I was planning to give CAT this year but couldn’t prepare consistently, so I’m targeting CAT next year.

My profile:

* 10th: 71%
* 12th: 88.2%
* Graduation: 7.5 CGPA (75% as per DAVV Indore conversion)

I mainly want to know whether my work experience and internships during college will be counted, especially the full-time work experience.

Would really appreciate any advice!
