Sure - But it all depends on what is the actual work experience is, and how you frame it in your CV. Running a highly profitable lemonade stand could be considered something interesting to add to your CV, if you frame it correctly :)
MBBs and other consulting companies pride themselves in having teams of diverse backgrounds. So your experience shouldn't stop you from getting an interview (for entry-level positions)
(PS: I have 2-year work experience in construction and a non-MBA masters prior to joining consulting)
I hope this helped.

Hi Aashish,
not sure what you mean by “significant in interviews”; usually the work experience is assessed as an element to be invited to interviews. During the interview itself, you may get questions on your CV (and thus your work experience as well), however the relevance of any work experience you have is mainly assessed in the initial screening. In terms of that, 2 years of experience could definitely be relevant if they show some of the desired skills for consultants (eg leadership or entrepreneurial drive).

Dear Aashish,
I would happy to provide an answer for clear question.

Hi Aashish,
It would definitely help if you could provide us with clarifying info!
I.e. 1) What the 2 years of experience where and 2) Whether this is for your resume or for an interview!
Hi Aashish,
I have seen people join with 2 years work experience with the following observations
In short - 2 years is not a lot of work experience in my opinion. You will need to already have been a strong candidate before these 2 years, or done something noteworthy or worked in a field in extremely high demand to be a strong candidate

Hi,
Not sure what you mean by significant?
Just based on your one-liner description, from my BCG experience I think you probably would be considered for 2nd year associate or senior associate role.
