GMAT Accepting Colleges in India - MBAkarma

The number of GMAT accepting colleges in India has grown over time and more than 200 programs at over 100 business schools accept the GMAT in India. The GMAT exam is fast becoming the choice of test for Indian B-Schools.

The GMAT Advantage

More Schools– The advantage that GMAT has over the more popular CAT is that it allows a student to apply at both Indian as well as International B-Schools.

Flexible Schedule– An applicant can take the GMAT as their schedule permits and multiple times a year, thus allowing for increased flexibility.

Experienced Candidates– One Year Programs that compulsorily require work experience for admissions usually consider the GMAT. Examples of such programs are ISB, IIMA-PGPX, IIMB-EPGP, IIMC-PGPeX, IIML-IPMX, XLRI-GMP, SPJIMR-PGPM. Admission is granted on the basis of overall applicant profile and the GMAT is a critical part. These programs also compete with international MBA programs in US, UK, Europe, Canada and Australia. Thus taking the GMAT opens the door for a candidate not only in India but also globally.

What is the significance of GMAT?

The GMAT allows B-schools to evaluate an applicant’s academic potential. Since the candidates hail from varied backgrounds, the GMAT levels the playing field to measure quantitative, verbal and reasoning skills.
