Strengths:

Overall good centre .
Easy to reach , you can use metro and then walk for 10 min .
Easy checkin , only passport required for gmat .

Would make the product better:

Markers still waste a lot of time in exam like gmat. Everytime your marker is kot working you break your concentration and definitely that costs you easily 2,3 questions

If they can work on providing better markers , it is a good centre . But i believe marker is a general problem at all centres and this should be resolved by gmac .

Easy access to centre makes a hood positive , metro station near by .

Also , proper and easy management once you enter inside . They allow only 30 min before your test . So if your test is 11:30 , you have to wait outside till 11 .

They will provide you with a locker and a key , you can keep your bag and belongings in it , only passport and key can be taken inside .
All the best .

Strengths:

1) Ontime delivery of test
2) Quick and hassle free report generation

Would make the product better:

Verification closer to test start time takes a lot of time even though you are half hour before the allotted slot due to limitation in manpower. Would suggest to improve upon that,

Verification closer to test start time takes a lot of time even though you are half hour before the allotted slot due to limitation in manpower. Would suggest to improve upon that, Overall a nice experience but like i mentioned, would suggest to sizeup manpower especially when there are multiple people taking different tests at a particular slot as it leads to unnecessary anxiety.
And most importantly, issue of lack of parking needs to be addressed as it is located in a mall and you carry high risk of getting your vehicle towed when you park it outside on the street

Strengths:

2. Air conditioners were working
3. You will be provided sound proof air buds

Would make the product better:

1. Uninterrupted Internet Connection
2. High Quality Marker pen
3. Larger table
4. Assign a responsible person to monitor the exam

1. Tables are small
2. Bad internet connection. My connection was lost several times.
3. Examinees enter the room continuisly.They took other exams like PTE, SAT also. So the examiner was intructing the new examinee which hampered my concentration.
4. The person who was responsible to supply marker, paper etc was very irresponsible. I put up my hand for 3-4 mins for asking extra paper but the examiner was not available.
5. Computer monitors are old modeled. They should be replaced.
6. Wasroom was very dirty.
7. The air buds were not sound proof
8. Overall my house is far better than the test center.
9.Those who have decided to select the center, please go there first physically!

Strengths:

Staff - Courteous
Environment- Test friendly

Would make the product better:

Parking facility would be a plus point.

The test center is located on the main road, and easily located, one just needs to reach on time finish all formalities and appear for the exam with calm mind. The staff was really caring and did all they could to make me comfortable.
Visited this center before scheduling to check the location, parking and to get the idea about test environment.

The staff person present here gave rough idea about the exam environment and reminded me to carry the passport on the test day. She did not allow me to see the actual test facilities, I just saw the waiting area for candidates. Based on earlier reviews and recommendations from people who already gave test here, overall center looked fine.

Main problem is about parking, doesn't allow you to park in the same building, you have to find paid parking elsewhere and walk to the center. Given Bangalore's unpredictable traffic conditions and parking facilities around Lalbagh, it is very risky to take your own vehicle.
But visiting center before scheduling the test gave me overall idea about location, facilities and will help to avoid last minute surprises on day of actual test.

The place was within walkable distance from the metro station so it is quite easy to get there like 10 minutes away. I arrived almost 2 hrs early and I was fortunate there was an empty slot so the staff told me that I could give my exam. The instructions were quite clear and you have to only bring your passport no need for an appointment letter and make sure your name matches with the passport (you can clear that with MBA website support staff at least 4 to 5 days before, their response is quite fast).
The noise-cancellation headphones worked nicely. Also be careful with the 10 minutes optional break you take as most of it goes away when you have to re-enter the room for bio-metrics so practically break is like 5 to 6 mins. The internet was smooth and test was hassle-free. Good Luck for your exams.

For first-time visitors, this test site is an excellent choice. However, it's crucial to arrive on time since the area is typically congested with traffic, which could cause delays. The environment tends to be noisy, as people are constantly moving in and out, which might be distracting if you're sensitive to noise. On the plus side, the test center is very spacious, providing ample room to feel comfortable. You may find the staff to be polite and helpful, which could ease any anxiety you might have about taking the test in an unfamiliar place. Good luck with your test
