MBA in India

   You need to have a bachelor's degree (3-year course) or equivalent in any discipline recognised by any Indian University / AICTE as eligible for post-graduate studies.

You can apply while you are in your final year of graduation. If you do get through the admission test, you will be given provisional admission on the condition that you provide your mark sheet and a certificate of passing by a certain date.

US & Europe

The basic qualifying exam for doing an MBA outside India (US, Europe, Australasia) is the GMAT (Graduate Management Aptitude Test) conducted in centers across India.

After you get your GMAT results, you need to apply for admission to specific institutes. There is normally no GD or Personal Interview process (like in India) - however, different institutes have different processes and criteria for admitting students.

Answer 2

Certainly not in the US, they are looking for someone with a bachelor degree (doesn't matter what subject) and good GMAT score (and TOEFL if undergrad studies were not in English.) Under certain circumstances, some institutions may forgo the university degree requirment in favour of work experience, but only if you've already been in a managment position for MANY years.

I do know of one young man (21-22), who worked in a family business and was accepted into Queensland University of Technology's (Australia) MBA program without an undergraduate degree...but I suspect this is VERY rare!
