To @OfficialGMAT ,
Thanks a lot!! That indeed is SOME work!!

Was this information useful?

@unisol Thanks. We know, it took long. But at the end of the day, we wanted to give out exhaustive information to the students. So, to sum up, the GMAT exam has seeped into Indian Management Education and we are planning to go further. This would ensure that a GMAT test taker not only gets opportunities abroad but can also consider staying back in India which is undoubtedly, one of the most revered destination for higher studies. All the best!
@naumi Hi, FMS Delhi offers an MBA program for NRIs, PIOs and Foreign Nationals only. Unfortunately, Indian candidates cannot apply for FMS Delhi through GMAT scores.

So almost all top MBA colleges in India (including IIMs) are accepting GMAT scores now for PGDM/PGPM? Is it only for foreign students or also for Indian students?

Great Post. Requested to kindly keep updating.

Both. Kindly have a look at the thread. There is a clear bifurcation. Thanks
Great post!

However XIM B doesn't list GMAT and only mentions CAT & XAT. Here is the link

Also KJ Somaiya PGDM program only mentions CAT on its website. Here is the link

Official GMAT, I have a query regarding submission of scores. I know that immediately after the exam we can send scores to 5 schools. Later for every additional school we need to pay $28 per school.
However approx 20 days after the exam each student receives his official score card online or via post. So I would rather send this score card to additional schools rather than sending them through GMAC and spending $28 each time.
Have I understood this correctly or am I missing something here?

Official GMAT: I am still waiting for your reply....

@samdighe Schools will need to be sent the official score through GMAC as well. It is not enough that you submit the scorecard along with the applicatoin.

@samdighe Hi, we apologize for replying so late to this query.
Please note both schools XIM B and KJ Somaiya accept the GMAT score. The schools may not have put this information on their respective websites. We will duly bring this to their attention. Thank you for highlighting the same.
Thanks
@samdighe We will get back to you on this shortly.

Hi ,

Just a small doubt about the fee structure for the colleges . What is the fee structure for the colleges through GMAT for Indian nationals ? Is it the same or the colleges ask for international fees if you take admission through GMAT ?

Hi @medrahul ,

The GMAT exam is to help you and the schools access your aptitude for a management programme. The GMAT exam has nothing to do with the fee structure of the schools. If you are applying for a b-school outside your country, you might be considered as an international student and hence the fee would be charged accordingly. For Indian schools, however, the fee remains the same as that for a local student for you. In either case, we would advise you to have a look at the school's brochure before applying. We hope it helped you get over your doubts.
@OfficialGMAT Thanks. I was thinking of applying to both the schools mentioned by you in the post XIMB and K J Somaiya but as you said they have not included those in the admission forms. So currently it's not possible to apply to these using GMAT Score.
Secondly, I haven't appeared for CAT but have appeared for GMAT. Can I apply with the same score to the PGDM PRogrammes of the IIMs.
