GMAT Popularity Declining

  49 sec to read

The number of Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) takers from Nepal is declining rapidly despite growing popularity of management education in Nepal and number of students going abroad for pursuing management degrees.

Ashish Bhardwaj, Regional Director of Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) said that number of Nepali students appearing in GMAT has declined by 40 per cent in three years. In 2009 there were 300 students appearing in the test from Nepal. That number fell to 190 in 2011. However 310 Nepali students appear in the test from outside Nepal.

The GMAT is accepted in more than 5000 management programmes at over 2000 business schools all across the globe. Bhardwaj said that many Nepali students are unaware of the test and its significance. He said, “Students know very little about this test’s importance. We are trying to spread more information to attract more test takers from Nepal.” Currently, over a dozen of education consultancies are running classes for test preparation in Nepal.
