No, a valid GMAT score is not strictly compulsory for admission to the Executive MBA / PGPM programmes at Athena School of Management (Mumbai). The institute accepts a variety of exam scores including CAT, GMAT, GRE, or its own test ASAT (Athena Scholastic Aptitude Test). In fact, for executive participants the focus often weighs more on your work experience, leadership potential, and current role in addition to scores.
If you're applying, ensure that your professional profile, achievements, and motivation are clearly presented — those often matter as much as test scores.

No — a valid GMAT score is not strictly compulsory for admission into the PGPM programme at Athena School of Management. The institute accepts scores from NMAT, CAT, GMAT, or its own test, the ASAT (Athena Scholastic Ability Test).
For the PGPM, Athena also places strong emphasis on your academic record, work experience (if any), and overall profile, so candidates without a high GMAT score can still be considered if the rest of their profile is strong.
