Dear ravijaan,

For business school admissions, your 10th and 12th marks do not factor into your evaluation. Your university transcripts and GMAT score are the measures used to evaluate your academic aptitude. Your work experience, rationale for an MBA, and career goals are also key pieces in your evaluation for the committee. Depending on the schools of interest to you, your GMAT score should ideally be at or above the average for those schools to be competitive. Since you are in the IT industry and in India, you are part of a large percentage of the global MBA applicant pool. As such, your GMAT score needs to be on the higher side (710+) to be competitive for top 20 global MBA programs.

Good luck,
Lisa

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
