Now GMAT Scores Good For Indian B-Schools Too

Indian business will now be able to admit students on the basis of the globally recognized Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT). The move is part of the HRD ministry-controlled All India Council for Technical Education’s efforts to simplify the admission process for business schools. Being able to admit students on the basis of GMAT will now make it easier for the more than 3,000 business schools in India to draw international students. The test is recognized in more than 110 countries. According to government data, less than 4,000 foreign students are currently admitted into institutes of higher education in India every year. Business schools in particular are looking to increase the number to make classrooms more diverse, improve their global rankings and gain international accreditations. The 13 Indian Institutes of Managements recently decided to hold road shows to attract foreign students.
