I just tried in this way. Hope this helps.

@ECHO OFF
SET CURR_DIR=%CD%
SET IS_DIR=0
CD %1% 
IF "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" SET IS_DIR=1
CD %CURR_DIR%
ECHO IS DIRECTORY %IS_DIR% 

Output:

D:\Work\Stand alone Java classes>test.bat D:\Work\Training

D:\Work\Stand alone Java classes>test.bat D:\Work\Training\SRT.txt

IS DIRECTORY 0
