Hi, I had this same issue when dealing with some other MBA programs that said they only accepted 4 year degrees. I have a 3 year degree from a Canadian university however since we have a cegep "pre university" program in my province I actually have the same number of years of education as a student with a 4 year undergrad. Just to help guide you through this did you have a similar program in India ? And how many years of education do you have? Sometimes programs will also consider 3 year undergrads if you have the minimum number of years of education. In my case this was 16 years. I was also very shocked when MBA programs told me I was ineligible due to my 3 year degree, but there are always ways around this .

Thank you so much for the response. I am not sure we have the same system from India but Delhi University(the place I graduated from) is one of the best in the country and has recognized worldwide. Not sure why McCombs has a problem. This is the response I got
The three year degree from India is not an equivalent bachelor’s degree and would not be eligible for graduate study at the University of Texas at Austin. In order to be considered for graduate admission at UT Austin, applicants from India need one of the following:
MA/MSc/MCom awarded prior to entry.
LLB awarded prior to entry.
BEd awarded prior to entry.
PG Diploma from an AICTE recognized institute (or UGC recognized university) awarded prior to entry.
US bachelor’s degree awarded prior to entry.
