Will be applying to all these colleges max by tomorrow (29/05/2018)

Late or not depends from each university, you must check their deadlines.
As for scholarship, the only thing is that they can be awarded more easily if you apply early, as they'd have more left.
You should get your response in 1 to 4 weeks.

What does your profile look like? (work experience, GMAT score, undergraduate GPA?) Strong GMAT scores and work experience tend to be looked upon more positively when schools are awarding scholarships.

Hey ...so basically I have not taken the GMAT but I have a GRE.
Following is my progile:
Work Experience: 5 years in IT(developer/consultant)
GRE: 311(m-161,v-150)
IELTS: 7
10th & 12th -80%
B.E(Undergrad) -75%

I have applied to the following:
1) Newcastle MBA
2) Brunel MBA
3) Loughborough MBA
4) Nottingham Trent MBA
5) Glasgow MBA
6) Birmingham MBA(International Business)
7) Leeds Uni Business School MBA
8) Strathclyde MBA
9) Lancaster MBA
10) Uni of Edinburgh MBA

Thanks in advance !

Edinburgh, Strathclyde and Lancaster seem the best options, with Leeds slightly behind.
I think you'll have good chances at these schools with your profile.

Interesting to see Nottingham Trent's business school overtaking the blue-blooded University of Nottingham Business School in the new undergraduate rankings from The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2018/may/29/nottingham-trent-leapfrogs-rival-in-university-league-table

Thanks for the response !
I wanted to check about Loughborough University 1 year full time MBA program. How is it and does the student get any extension after graduating to stay back and find a job?

Thanks in advance!

You would generally need to convert to a Tier 2 visa, which would require you to have a job offer in hand. Most students who want to stay in the country would probably have a job lined up by graduation. Check with Loughborough to see if this is generally in the range of possibility, and if international students are (frequently) able to find jobs before they graduate.
