By the way of introduction, I am an alumnus of IIM, Indore. So, basically, the answer has follow up questions. What kind of life do you expect post an MBA? What kind of profile you want to get into? Whether or not you want to settle abroad? Do you plan to open your own venture?

1. High fees- people go abroad by spending lakhs and lakhs and end up with a lot of debts.
2.Banks loans-The chances of getting loans for doing MBA from foreign university is very high such a huge amount will not be provided by banks in our country.

To get admission into IIMs for MBA, you need to crack an exam called CAT (common admission test) which is held every year.
The eligibility is to have at least 50% in your Bachelor's degree (for unreserved category) and at least 45% for SC, ST and PWD categories.

Yes, IIMs do accept the GMAT score, but only for one year executive program.
However, all the IIMs have a different requirement for the admissions.
For example: IIM-Ahmedabad will look at a score of 700+ only and a work experience of more than 7 years. Whereas, IIM-Indore might settle for a GMAT score of 650 and work experience of 5 years
Good Luck.

The one which I will use is the Financial Times Global MBA rankings which seem to be a reliable source.
The good news is that the top three IIMs managed to secure positions in Top 100.
You will be surprised to know that the top among Indian Universities is not and IIM but is the Indian School of Business (ISB).
According to the 2017 rankings ISB ranks 27th while IIM Ahmedabad ranks 29th. But for 2016 IIM A was at 24th position while ISB was at 29th.
IIM Bangalore ranks at 49th position I.e. way below ISB and IIM A.
Then IIM Calcutta just manages to make a cut a

If you are getting top three IIMs then don't think twice. Just go for it. Even if the fees are high the returns are also really good.
Only two three IIMs after IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta are worth the fees they charge.
IIM Indore and Kozhikode are also pretty good. The newer IIMs aren't comparable to the top ones.
You can also consider ISB (Indian School of Business). It is also comparable to top three IIMs.
If you aren't getting top three IIMs and ISB then go for good private universities.
The top ones are -
