About GMAT

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT®) is a standardised computer-adaptive test that measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, integrated reasoning and analytical writing skills. The test is designed to help business schools assess the potential of applicants to succeed in their graduate management programmes. The GMAT® is an aptitude test that assesses analytical writing and problem-solving abilities, while also addressing data sufficiency, logic, and critical reasoning skills - and therefore does not require any subject-specific theoretical study.
The GMAT® is developed and administered by Pearson VUE under the direction of the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), a non-profit organization of graduate business schools worldwide. Pearson VUE delivers the tests in India throughout the year in 17 cities across 20 test centers.
Global Acceptance of GMAT: IN 2014 (year ended June 2014) 238,356 GMAT exams were taken globally. And test takers sent 675,733 GMAT Score Reports to nearly 6000 graduate management programs around the world.
What does it measure you on: The GMAT exam measures the skills you have against the skills that the schools look out for. GMAT is not just a test of your quantitative and verbal ability, rather, it tests you on your analytical capability- your ability to analyze complex information and your logical capability apart from your time strategies.
Eligibility
There are no age or qualification-based constraints to take the GMAT—basically, anyone can take this test. The GMAT test scores are valid for five years. However, while applying to B-Schools, it is always better if your scores have been obtained within the last 2 years.
