GMAT
GMAT Introduction
The GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) is a standardized exam used for admissions to business schools and MBA programs.
It assesses skills in quantitative reasoning, verbal reasoning, integrated reasoning, and analytical writing, aiming to evaluate a candidate's ability to succeed in graduate-level business education.
Why GMAT is required
The GMAT is required for Indian students to study MBA and other business-related graduate programs abroad because it helps admissions committees assess their analytical thinking, quantitative skills, problem-solving abilities, and communication in a standardized way. It provides a level playing field for applicants from diverse educational systems and is widely accepted by top global business schools for admissions and scholarships.
