Yes ofcourse you can apply for this campus with 3.5 years of experience.This 3.5 years experience always matters a lot in your MBA life. A lot of firms look for students who have experience in industry during the campus placement. This helps you gain a competitive edge over other students who take admission in the same campus without experience. So I suggest you to go with your studies. It will be always add on to your career.

Dear Nishant,
Absolutely you can apply for MBA with 3.5 year of work experience. The basic eligibility criteria for doing MBA (non executive) is that you need to pass entrance exam with required cutoff. The work experience is only to get the additional preference while selection. Whereas for executive MBA you need at least 5 years of managerial work experience (for Faculty of Management studies- Delhi University) or at least 11 years (for IIM -Ahemdabad, Bangalore) of experience along with entrance cutoff.
I hope this helps.
