Hello,
Entrance exam required is the GRE and TOEFL for Master's degree courses in USA. Taking the GRE and TOEFL will not guarantee a place at Harvard, however, one of the top ranking universities and highly competitive. They seek all rounders hence prepare accordingly.

Hello,
It seems you are an undergrad student. Yes getting admission is as easy as you may think provided your profile proves to the Harvard admission committee about your FIT to the university. You need high percentile in SAT with SAT subject test being highly recommended besides very strong writing skills and diversity in your profile/resume. The application timeline is equally important for the university where the acceptance rate is just a single digit.
Please feel free to ask specific question for which course you may want to apply.

Hi Aditya,
Harvard being one of the best business schools in the world enormous hard work will be required to get admitted. Academically, you must be a brilliant student and if not, there must be something in your profile which can distinguish you from other students. Besides academics, you must be involved in extra-curricular too. Overall, a strong and all-rounder profile is required. Most importantly you must have work experience before applying so after you complete your Bachelors get a job, take your GMAT and TOEFL. Career planning is also important. Read HBS MBA website for details.
