Yes, every IIM considers the work experience of the candidate during admission. In fact, work experience carries a certain weightage in the selection procedure. The final selection for admission at IIMs depends on the CAT score of the candidate, past academic scores, and other factors.

However, in the PI shortlisting criteria, the requirement of work experience is not mentioned. But you can expect several questions relating to it in the interview session. And during the final selection, a certain weightage is given to your past word experience. Although it may not be a significant contributing factor, work experience is definitely evaluated for admission at IIMs including IIMC. 

In the following, some facts for IIMC are highlighted regarding the points according to the months of work experience. It is not definite and can vary a little.

Considering the above facts, it can be stated that besides the CAT scores students should also give preference to their work experiences as it matters for admission to IIMC. The weightage of work experience of a student is normally 4 out of 50 at the time of final selection, however, at the initial stage, there is no such significance.
