Is GMAT compulsory for ISB Hyderabad?

The Indian School of Business (ISB) in Hyderabad typically requires applicants to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) as part of the application process for its MBA programme. The GMAT is a standardised test that measures a person's analytical, quantitative, and verbal abilities, as well as their ability to think critically. It is widely recognised as an indicator of a person's potential for success in graduate-level business programmes. In order to qualify for admission to ISB Hyderabad, applicants must have a valid GMAT or GRE score. Candidates must have a valid GMAT/ GRE/ CAT/ JRF score. However, the ISB also accepts the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) and Executive Assessment (EA) exams as an alternative to the GMAT. The GRE is a widely accepted test that measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills. The EA is a test designed specifically for experienced professionals and measures their readiness for an MBA program. ISB also have exceptions to the GMAT/GRE/EA requirements based on the candidate's work experience and academic background. In general, the ISB places a great deal of importance on the GMAT score as it is used to evaluate the candidate's readiness for the MBA programme and the ability to succeed in the programme. However, the ISB also takes into account other factors such as the candidate's work experience, academic background, essays, and interviews to make a decision on admissions.
