Well, they do accept three year Bachelor's degree but to get into a university like Harvard you must be something extraordinary. Your academic grades, project works, extracurricular activities etc will be strictly evaluated.

Hi Mohit Sharma, that's a very good question. These are among the world's top most universities and there are reasons for it. They admit highly brilliant students, the best of the best, and look for students who can contribute to the university and the society. In addition, different programs and departments have different admission requirements. Apart from academics, you must also have a lot of extracurricular activities.

Hi Pratap,
The universities you want to target are some of the world's most competitive and selective. These universities don't have any scholarship test, once you apply you will be automatically considered. But the problem is most of these will offer scholarship on the basis of your financial background plus your profile. You must be extremely brilliant. Coming from SC category won't give you any special consideration, it's all merit-based. If you have not checked any of these university websites its high time you start checking the website and try to understand what kind of students they take in. Prepare accordingly.

Hi Yaash, You have to do a lot of things to improve your profile and make yourself fit for Harvard. Exceptional academic grades, outstanding extracurricular activities and all-round profile are a must. You need to ask yourself why a top ranked university like Harvard should admit you and not why another strong applicant, you can then discover your potential and showcase them. Please visit the Harvard website, check the kind of students they admit and prepare accordingly. You will also find the fee structure on the website.

Hi Rohan,
For MBA from Harvard, first of all, you need to be highly academic, must have completed your Bachelor's degree with a high first class. You must have at least 2 years of work experience and must take the GMAT. In addition, since Harvard is one of the most selective universities only meeting the requirements won't be enough. Your profile overall must be highly competitive and you need to be an allrounder. A prospective applicant must check the university website and learn about the admission norms and kind of students they prefer. I will advise you to do the same. Prepare accordingly.

Another option may be MPH course from John's Hopkins University. They have collaboration with Indian universities. The admission is through JHU and degree is also from them. The course offered in India is economically better.
