Hi,

Yes many b-schools recognize and accept Indian 15 yrs education for MBA programs. Please share more details about your profile to evaluate better about your chances.

Most schools do.

First, check the FAQs or International pages of each of your target schools.

So, Columbia lists on their FAQs (https://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/programs-a ... uestions#1):

Will I qualify for admission with a three-year undergraduate degree?
We accept applications from candidates with a three-year undergraduate degree. Those applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Kellogg lists one their FAQs (https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/pro ... qs.aspx#34):

If I have a 3-year bachelor's degree, am I eligible to apply?
Yes. We are familiar with various international educational systems and recognize that 3-year undergraduate programs are the norm in much of the United Kingdom and in India. Many of our applicants from India have also completed a 16th year of education in a master's program, but this is not a requirement.

Second, directly ask the school if you do not find this information on their website.

Best of luck but you should be fine,
