Hey Shravan,

Welcome to LearnHub! I hope you enjoy exploring everything that is has to offer you as you prepare to study abroad (there is lots of stuff on this site so be sure to explore all around!). We have communities on business schools and Co-op work programs too so it should be a good fit for you.

Getting into the top MBA programs in Canada with no work experience can be difficult and an MBA isn’t for everyone. A college diploma and some Co-op work experience would help you gain admission but the most valuable tool to gain admission to top schools is work experience, academic grades, and GMAT scores.

Sheridan College is certainly well respected in Canada, but I do not personally know too much about the program. Keep up your research and ask the college to send along more information. Another Canadian college I would highlight to you would be Georgian College They have certificate and degrees in business and also a very successful Co-op program. You can read about the school by following this link and even get in touch with their India admissions officer directly by filling out the blue contact form on the page.

Hope this helps and let us know how it is going!

Dan

Dear Shravan,

As Albrecht said, if you are looking to get into some top B-Schools abroad you must gain a decent amount of work experience. Anyway, since you have decided to do a certificate program I too suggest you to consider Georgian College Even though Sheridan College is a decent one I don’t think that their certificate program is more renowned than that of Georgian College

All the best…
