Sounabh,
It is absolutely possible to apply for Universities abroad for an MBA without prior work experience. In fact, one of our mentee from IIT Delhi recently secured admission into the YALE University School of Management.
It is also a good idea to take care of the GMAT while you're still attending college as you get more time to prepare and already part of a academic setting. Happy to answer any more questions that bother you.

Sounabh,
I'm glad you found my citation helpful. About your query about GMAT- though there's no cut-off for any School but I understand that you are a part of one of the most populated (and quantatively stronger) applicant group- Indian Engineers, you might need to work harder than others, I believe anything 700+ should be ok. However, do not go by the misconception that GMAT is the single most important criterion for admission. In my opinion your complete application particularly your essays and accomplishments are very important in determining your success. Other application requirements are your recommendations and CV, along with some background information.

Though,I am not the best person to guide you about European Business Schools- I believe there are more apt people on MentorPolis mentor base for that, but what I understand from my knowledge is that they generally require some experience for MBA admission whilst they have other Msc. in Management Programs for fresh graduates.

Yes it's possible but to stand out as an applicant it is better to have some experience otherwise you will have nothing to differentiate yourself. I've learned how to make money online so I'm hoping that will give me a point of difference especially if I apply in the eurodebt zone.

This is definitely possible. You do not need any work experience at all. This is for most.
