Primary answer
While ATMA itself does not require work experience for eligibility, individual participating B-schools (like PUMBA or Welingkar) often allocate 5% to 10% weightage to work experience during their final selection rounds (GD/PI). Candidates with 2+ years of relevant experience may receive higher preference in the final merit list, even if their ATMA percentile is slightly lower than a fresher's.
