I am looking forward to do MBA, but I read that good colleges in Australia like MBS, AGSM require 5+ work experience.
I have 3+ years of work experience. I am working as a System Analyst in John Deere, India.
I am passionate about business & have my own startup as well.
I would give GMAT in an another month, expected score is around 700. I am looking forward to settle in Australia after MBA.
( I know the degree/course should be at least 16 months duration to request for post Visa work permit )

1 - I am confused what to do know? Any suggestions, as renowned MBA require 5+ years of experience. How about MIM at this stage or shall I compromise and settle with other b schools MBA like Victoria, Deakin, Wollongong?

2 -What are the prospects of doing specialization degree like Masters in International Business, & further Job possibilities after pursuing the same?

Yes, to be competitive at a world-class ranked MBA program, you'll generally need more work experience.

Otherwise, your profile will have to be really stellar. AGSM for example will admit candidates with 2 years of work experience, but these will generally be at the top of the pack in other departments, such as the quality of the work experience, GMAT score, undergraduate performance, etc.

Otherwise, you can look for a lower ranked program. Just make sure it's accredited by AMBA EQUIS or AACSB. Of the ones you mentioned, Deakin is the only one that fits this criteria.

Your other option would be a Master in Management program, but you may run into a length issue (as you pointed out you'll need a 16 month program, and most of these courses are 12 months).

They're really whatever you make of the degree. Better schools will have better networks and thus better career advancement potential. Sort the FT ranking by 'international mobility' to get a sense of the degrees' success in helping grads land jobs abroad.

The FT also has data on alumni - what industry / functions grads are currently working in.

Try the QS rankings?

I would say that accreditation from AMBA, AACSB, or EQUIS would be preferable to a school that's simply a member of the Group of Eight.

Take Australian National University for example: the school is a member of the Group of Eight but their MBA lacks accreditation from at least one of the three bodies, and their MBA is (relatively) new and unproven.

There's some discussion on ANU here:
