Yes, you will - but from very low ranked schools. It is always better to get some work-ex and apply to the better schools.

At least two years but three or more will improve your chances. Work experience and performance in professional pursuits are parameters that business schools look closely at, and you would be ill-advised to ignore them. Try and get 2-3 years of work experience, preferably in the same area you would want to focus on after your MBA, and then apply to b-school.

well, Yale and HBS have got programs where college seniors can apply, though the HBS one requires minimum two years of work experience prior to starting your MBA.

And have you checked ISB website? They have a similar program where college seniors can apply and can start their MBA right after the graduation. Being from India, you should have a good shot there.

Oh, the ISB one requires completion of one year and nine months work experience. You also have to apply in your pre-final year of undergrad. here is the link-

first of all, why do you think its not applicable for you?

did not get your second point. you are searching for an MBA program that will accept you right after your undergrad, right?
