IS it right time for going for GMAT? [#permalink] New post   12 Aug 2015, 00:58
Hey guys,
I am a 3rd year guy pursuing his electrical and electronics engineering from Delhi College of Enginering. I am thinking of giving my GMAT exam this december. Is it the right time for me to give my exam. And what colleges can i apply to for deferred MBA's. Are there any programs wherein i can go for my MBA degree just after completing my college.

Thanks guys in anticipation of a favourable reply.

Hi Arjsirvastav

You can target ISB YLP program. Its specifically for young graduates in final year. You ll get deferred admission and have to join the course post 2 yr work ex.
Additionally if you are looking for MIF programs abroad you can apply as a fresher.
But giving GMAT now and applying for colleges say 4 years from now would not be a good thing. Colleges generally prefer scores not more than 3 years old

Where did you hear this? As far as I know, schools don't really care about how old your GMAT score is, as long as it is still valid. Unless arjsrivastav applies to a program that specifically asks for GMAT scores from tests taken in the last 3 years, he should be fine all the way up to 5 years.

Hi arjsrivastav,

The process of working on your applications (taking the GMAT, essay writing, etc.) and ultimately attending Business School requires a substantial amount of time, money and effort on your part, so it's important to really think about what YOU want out of your degree. If a deferred Program is one of your priorities, then you can certainly work with that goal in mind. However, if you have a strong GMAT score and earn a couple of years of solid work experience, then you could apply to pretty much ANY Program in a few years time.

Is there any particular reason why you're thinking about deferred Programs?
