GMAT Scores: India

This was a highly requested post! If you’d like a version of this post but for your country (China? France? Etc.?), please comment to let us know. 🙂

Also, while we have a lot of students from all over the world (including lots from India), Magoosh is located in the United States, so our knowledge is somewhat limited! Feel free to discuss what it’s like to study for the GMAT in India, or be a business student in India, or anything else in the comments with your fellow students.
