Does work experience help if you are doing an MBA?

Get Ahead reader Shalini mailed us an interesting query. 

We reproduce it verbatim:

"I will be graduating this year in commerce. I am confused as to whether I must do my MBA soon after college or get some work experience before proceeding. What do business schools in India prefer? What do employers prefer? And, which is better from my perspective?"

What is your take on this? Give Shalini a helping hand by posting your views, information, tips and suggestions.

If you are a working professional, HR recruiter, placement consultant, MBA professor or an MBA student, do let her know your views.
