The topic for this post is GMAT Eligibility Criteria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"am-i-eligible-to-write-the-gmat\">&#8220;Am I eligible to write the GMAT?&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GMAC has kept the GMAT eligibility criteria very simple. You are eligible to write the GMAT if &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You&#8217;re over 13 years of age.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Yes, you don&#8217;t need to be an adult to write the GMAT. If any child prodigy wants to become a manager before she can legally drive, she can!<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have a valid passport.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For most countries, a passport is the only proof of identity the GMAC accepts. <br>However, temporarily, for Indians, GMAC is also accepting the Aadhar Card as a valid proof of identity.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You haven&#8217;t written the GMAT any time in the previous 16 days.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If this isn&#8217;t your first time writing the GMAT, your previous attempt should&#8217;ve been at least 16 days before the next one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"special-circumstances-gmat-eligibility-exceptions\">Special Circumstances &#8211; GMAT Eligibility Exceptions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You will not be allowed to write the GMAT if GMAC has banned you from writing it.<br><br>These are the cases in which you may be banned &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Violation of the Non-Disclosure Agreement\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you have disclosed some questions or information about the GMAT and its questions that you were prohibited from doing, and have been caught by the GMAT, you&#8217;ll be banned from writing the GMAT.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Getting a perfect GMAT score &#8211; 805\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you have achieved a perfect GMAT score of 805 in an exam, you cannot write the exam for the next five years. This is because you cannot get a better score, and your 805 shall be valid for the next 5 years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Being eligible to take the GMAT is one thing and acing the GMAT is a completely different thing. Irrespective of your background, a GMAT score of 655+ will open doors to many of the top business schools in the world. A dedicated effort of 300+ hours of preparation will translate into getting a 655+ score in the GMAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wizako.com\/gmat-prep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our courses<\/a>, take a free trial, and get that GMAT score you&#8217;re aiming for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog was originally a GMAT Shots Video on our YouTube channel.<br>You can check out the video format <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1Hidz94wapE?list=PL3JsYBL14Zltq3hgchUq-qU0tJKJek84b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here <\/a>or below &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GMAT Eligibility Criteria | Qualifications to take GMAT, Requirements to apply for GMAT | GMAT Shots\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1Hidz94wapE?list=PL3JsYBL14Zltq3hgchUq-qU0tJKJek84b\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"if-you-are-eligible-as-per-the-gmat-eligibility-criteria-wizako-can-help-you-with-a-gmat-study-plan-sign-up-for-a-free-20-minute-one-on-one-gmat-prep-strategy-session-by-clicking-here\">If you are eligible as per the GMAT Eligibility Criteria, Wizako can help you with a GMAT Study Plan.
