About GMAT

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is the world’s most widely accepted standardized entrance exam for admission to MBA, Master’s in Management, Business Analytics, Finance, and other graduate business programs. Conducted by GMAC (Graduate Management Admission Council), GMAT is specifically designed to assess the analytical, quantitative, verbal, and data interpretation skills required for success in rigorous business school environments.

GMAT is accepted by 7,700+ programs at over 2,400 business schools globally, including top-ranked institutions in the USA, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, and Asia. It is not a test of business knowledge; instead, it evaluates how effectively candidates can think critically, solve complex problems, and make data-driven decisions - skills essential for management education and leadership roles.
