Are there any special considerations for international students applying to GIBS?

<p>There are many aspects that must be considered by an international student applying to GIBS Business School which will ensure that their application process runs smoothly and that the applicant's academic background is properly aligned with that of the school:</p><p>Academic Qualification Equivalence<br>An international applicant will be required to have their academic qualifications (e.g., 10+2 and Bachelor's degree transcripts) deemed equivalent to those of a candidate within India. In some cases, GIBS will require an equivalency certificate to establish that the applicant's foreign credential is equal to either of the requirements for admission into GIBS (10+2 or Bachelor's degree).</p><p>Entrance Examination<br>While Indian applicants typically submit their scores from national entrance exams (CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT), many international applicants may not have to submit these types of scores, depending upon the programme policy and equivalence guideline of the program. In such an instance, GMAT scores will often be accepted.</p><p>Supplying Evidence Of English Language Proficiency<br>If the education of the applicant was not in English, evidence of the applicant's proficiency in English will usually need to be supplied through testing results (e.g., IELTS, TOEFL), depending on the programme and policy at the time of application.</p><p>Assistance with Documentation and Student Visa<br>GIBS provides assistance to international students in the form of guidance in completing the required documentation for admission, verifying their credentials as a student or graduate of GIBS, and assisting with the immigration process to obtain a student visa.</p><p>Holistic Evaluation of Applicants<br>The admissions team evaluates all applicants holistically, using five separate areas to establish an applicant's overall suitability for admission, i.e., (i) Academic History; (ii) Academic Recommendations; (iii) Motivation for Enrollment; (iv) Interview Performance; and (v) Overall Fit.</p>
