Hi Priya,
Happy to help you and your brother with some clarity on the GRE score landscape for India’s top 1-year MBA programs. While admissions are always holistic and consider multiple aspects (profile, experience, essays, etc.), test scores do play a crucial role in getting shortlisted — especially for schools like ISB and the IIMs.
Here’s a breakdown of the typical GRE ranges and what your brother should ideally aim for to stay competitive in the 2026 intake:
- ISB – PGP: Target 327+
- IIM A – PGPX: Target 328+
- IIM B – EPGP: Target 325+
- IIM K – PGP-BL: Target 323+
- IIM U – DEM: Target 320+
- IIM I – EPGP: Target 323+
- IIM L – IPMX: Target 323+

Hello!
I am an IIML passout (batch of 2022 passout).
My brother is looking to apply to the 1 year MBA programs in India (2026 Intake, 2027 batch) but at the moment I do not have a sense of what will be a
competitive GRE score to get a shortlist.
Any thoughts on the GRE score needed for the below schools?
1) ISB – PGP2) IIM A – PGPX3) IIM B – EPGP4) IIM K – PGP-BL5) IIM U – DEM
6) IIM I – EPGP7) IIM L - IPMXYour insights will be super helpful to get a target score!
Many thanks
