Hi,
I had a very bad experience today. I scheduled my GMAT appointment today but unfortunately i was not allowed to write exam just because name given in the registration process is different from the name present in my passport just by a space. As a consequence my time and money have totally gone vain.
Name given in registration : SREEHARI TIPPANA
Name on my passport : SREE HARI TIPPANA (space in my first name)
This is the second time i scheduled my appointment and i haven't updated my name after my first appointment, interestingly i was not objected in my first attempt but this time i'm not. Terms and conditions says "the name should match exactly as it appears in ID proof" i totally agree....
But my appeal is "
why can't we have the id details be mandated on GMAC website while registering itself". If we had this facility these kind of issues would have been avoided.
My second appeal is why can't we have the full name scan instead of part of the name.
Two more aspirants were rejected because of the same reason today. I really felt very sorry when the guy who was rejected, pleading the TCA as he resigned the job to prepare for GMAT and there is no slot available for next 30 days.
My sincere advice to all of you is " PLEASE CHECK YOUR DETAILS WELL IN ADVANCE BEFORE YOU APPEAR FOR THE EXAM". I hope my experience saves at least few aspirants efforts and money.
