B-schools accepting GRE scores too
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) has been the standard accepted test for admission to the MBA programmes in a majority of universities in the U.S. and Europe. But the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), which is the standard test for M.S. programmes, seems to be penetrating into the MBA schools as well.
Some of the sought-after business schools in the U.S. such as Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Johns Hopkins University, among others, have started giving students the option of submitting GRE scores instead of GMAT scores.
Though it is being done on case-by-case basis several other business schools too are using the GRE option, bringing cheer to applicants from countries including India.
“GRE scores are being accepted, but as of now only in a few universities,” agrees Arul Joseph, Coordinator, research wing of Visu International.
A majority of Indian students going abroad come from engineering background and take GRE for M.S. courses. With changes in the admission procedures those preferring to study MBA would not have to take the GMAT thus saving money and time.
