Thank you for your question. Let's take a look at the statistics you posted:
----
Name: upkar
education : BCA( Bachelor of computers application)
University: Indiar Gandhi NAtional Open University
Marks : 56%
work experience : NIL
----
American MBA programs typically look at the following major areas:
1) academics (GMAT and GPA)
2) work experience (length and breadth)
3) career goals (articulation of short and long-term goals)
4) leadership and personal skills (essays, recs, interview)
5) extracurricular activities
Given that you have almost no work experience and very low grades, I would obviously have some concern here.
Having said that, a strong performance on the GMAT test coupled with some additional coursework might help your academic situation.
As to the work experience - MBA programs operate under the assumption that students bring unique experiences with them to discuss in the classroom and enrich the learning experience. You may be better served to work for a few years and build some experiences before going to business school.
If you absolutely want to come to the USA for business school next fall than you may need to look at some of the more local programs that have lower admissions requirments regarding work experience - although this is not the path I would advocate.
Best of luck,
Graham
