Yes, your MBA degree from India can be considered when applying for an MS abroad, including in Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Italy. However, each country and university has its own admission requirements.

- Ireland: Typically requires a relevant bachelor's degree (minimum 60%), English proficiency (IELTS 6.5), and sometimes GMAT/GRE or work experience.
- Australia: Requires a bachelor's degree, at least 2 years of work experience, and English proficiency (IELTS/TOEFL). GMAT/GRE may be needed for some programs.
- New Zealand: Looks for a bachelor's degree with a B average (60 - 65%) and English proficiency (IELTS 6.5). GMAT/GRE not usually needed.
- Italy: Needs a recognized bachelor's degree (minimum 60%), English proficiency (IELTS 6.0 - 6.5), and rarely GMAT/GRE.

Your MBA can strengthen your application, especially if it’s relevant to your chosen MS field. Admission criteria are subject to change, so requirements may vary by university and program.
