Hey, thanks for your reply. 
Actually I come from a Science Background with 92% in my 12th and 10 CGPA in my 10th. 
Also currently as a certification I'm working as a trainee MERN Stack Developer .
I've got good offers from UK for MS CS. But I'm considering USA, not sure yet. Just wanna know which Universities accept 3 Year Bachelor's Degree, coz there are many where the min req is a 4 year grad.

Hi Rahul!
Transitioning from a Business field to a Technical one should not be an issue as long as you do the required courses in the latter field in order to fill in the knowledge gaps. Your internship experience will come in handy while applying for MS in CS in USA but along with that I'll advise you to do some more certified courses in that field because it can be quite hard to get into a University for MS in CS if you have a commerce background and not enough experience in CS.

As for great universities do to MS in CS from, there are a lot of Ivy League Universities and as well as other Reputed ones with high ROI for example; 
i. Stanford University.
ii. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
iii. University of California Berkeley.
iv. University of Washington Seattle.
v. Harvard University.
and the list goes on, but in order to get accepted into such Universities, you will need to have a good GPA, IELTS/TOEFL and GRE/GMAT score, furthermore your UG in Business-field will create an obstacle which you'll need to get past with the help of enough Technical experience.

Your past academic performance is excellent, and it really does help that you opted for Science in High School. Be sure to mention a good reasoning behind your choice of BBA and then the transition back to a technical field for MS in your Statement of Purpose. 
It is true that a lot of Universities in the US accept 4 yrs of Bachelors, but there are still a lot of reputed universities that accept 3 years as well, but a lot of research will go into shortlisting of such Universities as you'll need to find Universities that accept:
i. A transition from Business bg to Technical bg
ii. 3 years of Bachelors program
I would suggest you take professional guidance for this as you have good scores but a rare transitioning case. 
I personally am having a hard time shortlisting colleges for myself as well but my consultant does most of it on my behalf so I'm free from eighty percent load. I would suggest you seek professional advise as well.
