GMAT Eligibility: Qualification, Criteria, Documents

GMAT Eligibility: What are the GMAT eligibility criteria? Who can apply for the GMAT? What is the age limit for the GMAT test? Can a 17-year-old student apply for GMAT? According to the GMAT guidelines set up by the Graduate Management
Admission Council (GMAC), any student or candidate who is 18 years old or above is eligible to apply for the GMAT. Universities and Business Schools accept GMAT scores for admission to MBA or higher management programs.

However, a candidate who has scored well on the GMAT, say 700 or above, does not mean he/ she is qualified for admission to an MBA program. There is a difference in the GMAT and MBA eligibility criteria. On this page, we will discuss answers to questions
related to GMAT eligibility criteria and provide you with an overview of how you can become eligible for the standardised test.

GMAT Eligibility Criteria 2024

Every aspiring student planning to appear for the GMAT must understand the eligibility criteria. According to GMAT eligibility criteria, a student must be 18 years or above and must have completed high school or equivalent level of education. However,
if any student aged between 13 to 17 is planning to appear for the GMAT, his/ her parental/ guardian’s written permission will be required.

Academic Qualifications for the GMAT

The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) has set no academic qualifications for GMAT. Any candidate who has completed his or her higher education can apply for the test. This means candidates don’t need a background in management or related
fields. This allows students from diverse academic backgrounds to pursue this standardised test.

Those who want to pursue a Master’s in Business Administration must possess an undergraduate degree from a recognised university to become eligible for the GMAT.

Most of the GMAT aspirants are either final-year undergraduate students or working professionals, who are planning to pursue a career in management. Not having a specific academic qualification for GMAT offers flexibility. Students from humanities,
arts and commerce, all can apply for the GMAT.

Age Limit for the GMAT

The minimum age required for the GMAT is 18 years. Candidates aged between 13 to 17 are only allowed to appear with formal approval from their parents or guardians. However, there is no upper age limit for the GMAT test. It means any candidate above
the age of 18 can apply for the Graduate Management Admission Test.

GMAT Language Eligibility

The medium of GMAT is English only. It means candidates must have basic knowledge of the language and grammar. There is no official GMAT language eligibility and students don’t need to have English as a compulsory subject in higher education. To score
well on the test, candidates must have a strong command of English and know how to answer tricky questions asked on the test. GMAT is not easy, and if someone does not have basic knowledge of English, it will become more difficult for him/ her
to score well.

Work Experience for GMAT

GMAT work experience eligibility is different for Business Schools. Most of the GMAT aspirants are working professionals, but you can still have prior work experience to become eligible for the GMAT. Aspirants with relevant work experience naturally
have an advantage over freshers or newly graduated students.

GMAT vs MBA Eligibility

When we talk about eligibility for the GMAT, we must also understand MBA eligibility criteria. GAT aspirants appear for the test when they are preparing to apply for admission to a graduate business program; MBA or PGDM. MBA eligibility criteria include
a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university, a competitive GMAT or GRE score, work experience, letters of recommendation, and sometimes an interview.

MBA work experience requirements vary but many MBA programs require some professional experience, ranging from 2 to 5 years. However, many business schools offer MBA programs for students who have yet to gain significant work experience.

GMAT Eligibility Criteria for Indian Students

Indian students, like American or British students, are eligible for the GMAT. There are no specific guidelines or restrictions on Indian students to appear for this standardised test. In India, there are a total of 39 GMAT test centres, where the
test is conducted. Indian students are required to select any of these GMAT test centres when filling out the application form.

GMAT Eligibility Score

GMAT eligibility score is the minimum score required to clear the cut-off for admission to an MBA or MIM at the desired college or university. This score may vary depending on the college, the number of seats available and the students applying. Candidates
must keep an eye on the previous GMAT scores and requirements for MBA or MIM courses at their desired colleges.

GMAT Other Restrictions

If you are 18 or above, regardless of any nationality, physical impairment, or medical condition, you are eligible to apply for GMAT. Candidates belonging to the physically challenged category or having any medical condition and are looking for special
exam accommodation must submit original medical documentation, stating their condition and special requirement. The privacy statement declared by the Graduate Management Admission Council maintains the confidentiality of such information.

GMAT Eligibility Criteria for Re-attempts

GMAT allows candidates to re-attempt the test if they did not score well in their previous one. However, there are certain guidelines set up by GMAC that every candidate must adhere to.

• A candidate can only appear 8 times in his or her lifetime.
• A candidate can only appear 5 times in one year or single registration.
• A candidate will have to book separate slots every time he/ she applies.
