Dear All,

I am from India. I am an MBA from SP Jain Institute of Management and Research, Mumbai. I want to go for my 2nd MBA.

My GMAT exam is next week. I have a query regarding filling application form of various B-schools afterwards.

Since I have done my MBA from a renowned English Medium B-School, do I have to still give IELTS along with GMAT to apply to B-Schools such as Oxford Said, IESE, IMD, HEC and Wharton.

If Yes, then do I have to give it before filling application form.

Thanks in advance !!

As far as I have seen Indian applicants are required to submit TOEFL/IELTS along with GMAT score. Although some schools don't ask for TOEFL/IELTS score, as long as your transcript says Medium of instruction was English. But to be on the safe side I would suggest you to check it with the above mentioned b-schools.
For b-schools that require TOEFL/IELTS yes you have to give the exam before submitting the application.

PS: Give kudos if you find this reply helpful :grin:

Hey Feddy,

while general school guidelines may require you to submit a TOEFL/IELTS with your application, reaching out to the adcom and asking never hurts.

As schools want to ensure that their class is proficient in English, the respective tests are the easiest option of doing so, however, they might give you a waiver if they believe that your command of English is advanced enough.

Especially in times of Covid certain schools might be more lenient when it comes to their language policy.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi,
I have a similar query. I have an MS in CS degree from The University of New Mexico, a degree which I got way back in 2010. I am applying for MBA in Fall 2021 to Canadian/European B School, so can I get an exemption for IELTS scores?
Thanks and Regards,
Vikram Gade

Hi Feddy171
Shimri from ARINGO here.
We at ARINGO, actually get this question frequently. So let me answer this clearly:
Indian applicants or any other applicants, whose undergraduate (or Masters) degree was in English, do not need to take the TOEFL or IELTS for any MBA degree (not the US and not Europe).
The only exceptions are the California MBA programs who require everyone to take a TOEFL/IELTS (unless they studied in the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, or the United Kingdom)

So, in your case, you will not need to take the TOEFL for the schools you mentioned. but if you were applying to schools like USC, UCLA, Staford and Berkeley you would need to.

Hope this is clear?
GOOD LUCK!
