The above were the information for a any usual Candidates, but according to you, you have 3 years of job experience. Then, I guess you have pretty good chance of excelling there because you have got practical work experience which will be very beneficial in understanding the concepts. But it depends upon the job that you have done, if it's related to Finance then, you are already done with the core concepts by implementing them practically.
According to me, if you could then IFMR is the best opportunity you could get.
But again, the choice is upto you to whether to join IFMR or not.
