GMAT Online Acceptance in Indian B-Schools

As the saying goes, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing". But unfortunately, I have spoken with numerous applicants who are in similar situations because they have not adequately informed themselves about the requirements (Many could not get timely dates for the in-center exam so it's a real pain).

As it's a matter of your career and brand pedigree, I advise you to take the in-center exam, if possible, and target the top IIMs such as IIM A and B. If you are enthusiastic about pursuing an MBA in India, this small detour can greatly impact your career prospects.

It's so strange. I had no option to give offline gmat at the time, my centre literally called and cancelled two days before since it shut down due to covid. I was forced to give the online one. At the time GMAT and every institue acknowledged it as being on par with the offline exam. I can't find a good reason why the IIM's are suddenly not accepting them. So unfair.

Hi adieroxy,

You should appeal to the admission committees directly and explain what happened. If they don't budge, then use the opportunity to retake the test and score better.

As for the list of schools accepting online GMAT, our team is on it and will soon post the list.
