The Graduate Management Aptitude Test, or GMAT, is the most popular test to analyse a candidate’s analytical writing, quantitative, verbal, and reading abilities. This test is typically mandatory for students aspiring to study MBAs and business-related courses abroad.
The best business schools accept GMAT results, demonstrating its importance for top-tier business schools. The exam can be given year-round. However, the date you get depends on your choice of testing centre.

GMAT Eligibility
GMAT has no eligibility criteria, except candidates are expected to be above 18 years of age. A candidate under 18 must get a consent letter from their legal guardian. Since GMAT is usually asked for MBA or business-related postgraduate courses, it is best to have an undergraduate degree. Though there aren’t any other eligibility criteria as of now, it is best to check for any university-specific requirements.
GMAT Registration
The official GMAT registration website is MBA.com. You are free to select the day and time that work best for you.
