Does a paid internship after graduation count as work experience for CAT/IIM admissions?

I have been working in this company as an intern for the past 6 months and I have payslips too.

I graduated in 2025 so will these 6 months count as work-ex?

For CAT/IIM admissions, Post undergrad, full time paid work is considered under workex. As you were an intern, these 6 months won't count as you were not a full time employee to the company.

Workex doubt for CAT 2026 form 🙄
