Think of your passion and make a decision. Your profile is good for either of them.

Hey kumar ! Thanks for answering!
My point here was, I am totally inclined towards MIS…But from what people have told me…its like…Work ex is mandatory for MIS…Is it?
Or is it safe for me to try for MIS in good universities like University of California , berkley?

MIS does not really require work experience. Typically, MBA requires work experience. I cannot really evaluate your profile and suggest schools. You can review the average scores and other information and guess your chances.
