Re: Do IIMS take GMAT Score
Yes, Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT) score is accepted by Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore for admission into the Post Graduate Program. Admission Requirements for International Candidates • Undergraduate degree or higher with a minimum of 3 years at a university and any major, with a minimum of 50% marks or equivalent GPA. • A valid Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT) score (including AWA score) • Complete Admission application, including Statement of Purpose and 3letters of reference • International Candidates refer to candidate’s resident outside India, whether they are Indians / foreign nationals. [B]Admission into the Post Graduate Program through GMAT [/B] A separate process is used for processing applications from candidates who apply with a GMAT score. To be eligible to apply with a GMAT score, one must have resided abroad for at least 18 months in the preceding three years and should not be / have been in a position to appear for CAT. The first shortlist among such applicants is created by applying the same percentile cut-offs for CAT, as used for the general category candidates. For each applicant in this shortlist, each member of the evaluating committee will go through the applications in detail and in particular will evaluate the academic background and the international experience of the candidates. The evaluating faculty will also assess whether the candidate is likely to gain admission through CAT. Finally each member will recommend in favor of the candidate or recommend rejection. All candidates who have been recommended would be required to appear for a Personal Interview (PI) process, either in person or through remote video conferencing. The candidates appearing for the PI process in person would be interviewed along with the candidates using the CAT score, and the same PI process would be followed. Candidates appearing for the PI process through remote video conferencing would be required to take the Written Ability Test (WAT) through email. The performance of each on the WAT is evaluated in terms of content and style. Each interviewer will use the Personal Interview to comprehensively evaluate the candidate's motivation and ability to fit in and benefit from the PGP program. All candidates will be required to provide three confidential reference letters from their employers or faculty and this will also be used in the personal interview evaluation. For each of 3 elements of evaluation during the PI process – WAT and Personal Interview – the average of the scores given by the interviewers is considered. The evaluating committee would again assess the performance of one in the PI process and make a final offer. There is no quota or fixed number of seats for such candidates. There is also be no wait-lists for the same reason. |
