Hi Everyone,

Anyone who had booked the exam at the Barakhamba test center? Can you pls provide me with some feedback?
Also, what are the dos and don'ts that we need to consider while taking the test? This will be my first time so I am quite nervous and worried about the whole process. I have checked the Google reviews for the same, which are quite mixed. So, I am quite confused. Any feedback will be much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance!

This issue with markers seems universal.It happened at Kolkata too. Pearson deliberately does so .They want you to take the test again and again. Bad ploy...

Barakhamba road Pearson vue center suc** big time.
They gave me bad pens and erasable notepad. Single strokes of the pens would not write anything on the pad and i struggled with the pens.
this wasted my time where every second counts in GMAT.

Raised hands and then got pens replaced , still the same issue. Tried writing with much pressure and less pressure on the pen/or revolving the pen then writing / anti clockwise , clockwise , then pens suc**ed big time.

When they give you those pens they tell you to test them , by drawing lines , lines are easily made , but words and numbers are not.

Quality control should be there , for an exam like this.

(Dont say , i didnot complain , i did but they didnot do anything for me)

Hi
Did anyone take the test in December at Delhi barakhamba road test centre?
If so Do they not allow jackets even in winters?
If not is the room temperature controlled as in warm
As a person suffereing form cold sensitivity ,it would cause a problem if they wont allow jackets or keep the room warm
Can somebody please help me above query?

Hi Shubhangi,
I took the test yesterday at Pearson Noida Center, so sharing my experience-
Yes the room temperature is regulated and is warm. Jackets are also allowed inside, but you cannot remove it and keep it on the table. So my invigilator suggested I keep it outside and they have hangers for storage. It was very comfortable inside without the jacket as well, just wear a sweatshirt or something warm as your base layer if you have cold sensitivity.
All the best for your test!

I don't have an idea about Barakhamba Road Center, but can tell you about Noida. The test center was pretty good, that said sketch pens were an issue as others have highlighted. They tend to dry out very soon so make sure to close the cap immediately. I still had to struggle writing numbers and it is not very helpful with the clock ticking. But make sure to test them properly, I just scribbled, missed the point perhaps. Other than that the people were very polite and cooperative. Just take your passport as ID proof. Medicines/eatables can be consumed during your break but you will be frisked again so be mindful of the time.

Hi. I took the classic version in January 2024 at the Delhi Barakhamba Test Center. I can tell you it's the best test center in Delhi. You don't need to worry about the markers and laminated sheets provided at the test center. Even the temperature was controlled and I suggest avoiding wearing anything with more pockets as the proctors will check everything including your spectacles. But don't need to worry about all this as it is a part of the process. You will be provided with lockers where you can put your belongings. The only thing that are allowed to take inside the center is your passport and locker's key. Even the proctors are very friendly and if you require anything you may raise your hand and they will come to you. So, not worry much about the arrangements at the center and take your test with a clam and composed mind. All the best!
