Dear Tushar,
It's indeed a great and valid question. To clear you, there is no particular answer for this question because it all depends upon to university to which you are applying. Ideally, family business is counted as your experience but you need to specify your job profile, working responsibility, salary and remuneration.
Most importantly, you need to give LoRs from your seniors and you must have to justify them that how this 'family business experience' helps you to gain the practical exposure of what you have learn in classroom and yes, good GMAT score (750+) will helps you in this journey.

Dear Anurag,
Considering your existing score and your work experience, you can go for GMAT and pursue a degree from any good college in India. Any score above 650 is good and any score above 700 can fetch you a good college in India.
Good luck.

Hi Tushar Agarwal, without work experience admission into a MBA programme is difficult unless you are very bright. Also you can get admission in some low ranked university. If your academic scores are very good plus you have a very high GMAT score alongwith strong SOP and LORs you can still be accepted by business schools.

Hi Julep, popular ones are The Official Guide to the GMAT by GMAC, The Official Cambridge guide to IELTS, Manhattan preparation guides for GMAT, Karlan preparation guides for GMAT, Official IELTS practice materials by British Council etc. Around 3-5 months is required for preparation. You can first take a mock test, available online once you register. After you take the mock test you will know your weaknesses and areas of improvement. You can plan your study routine accordingly. Take mock tests every week and check out for online test samples on the official websites. Read a lot of journals, GK books, news etc. and keep yourself update

Hello Mayank,
If you are pursuing your Masters abroad then go ahead with GMAT or if you're pursuing in India then go ahead with CAT. Though both are worth to get the best institutes.

Both are accepted and required. GMAT and IELTS are both different. To study MBA you have to give both.
