Understanding GMAT and CAT

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a standardized exam used for admission to various management programs globally, including renowned business schools outside India. On the other hand, the Common Admission Test (CAT) is conducted specifically for admission to the IIMs and several other management institutes in India.

Do the IIMs Accept GMAT Scores?

Yes, some IIMs do accept GMAT scores for admission to specific programs. However, it is important to note that the CAT score remains the primary entrance criterion for most IIMs. Applicants with GMAT scores usually fall into the category of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) or foreign nationals who wish to pursue management education in India.
