Frequently Asked Questions

The four-part exam measures your Analytical Writing, Verbal, Quantitative, and Integrated Reasoning skills β€” higher-order reasoning skills that management faculty worldwide have identified as important.

GMAT scores provide a standardized, statistically reliable measure of how you are likely to perform academically in the core curriculum of a graduate management program.

The GMAT exam is delivered entirely in English and solely on a computer.

It is not a test of business knowledge, subject matter mastery, English vocabulary, or advanced computational skills.

The GMAT is presented in the form of a Computer Adaptive Test (CAT). This means the computer adapts to your performance, presenting questions and generating scores based on your responses.

Launched in 1954 by a group of nine business schools to provide a uniform measure of academic skills, the GMAT exam is now accepted by more than 5,200 programs at approximately 1,900 institutions worldwide.

Prestigious B-schools in India, including ISB and IIMs, also accept GMAT scores. Thus, if you want to join a top business school, GMAT is often required.

The GMAT exam consists of four sections:

  • Analytical Writing Assessment
  • Integrated Reasoning
  • Quantitative
  • Verbal

No, GMAT is not the only criterion. While it is an important part of the selection process, other factors also play a role:

  • Academic performance
  • Work experience
  • Admission essays
  • Statement of Purpose (SOP)
  • Other personal and professional achievements

However, your GMAT score may be crucial for consideration of these other factors, so it cannot be ignored.
