Can I apply to Nova SBE MiM without GMAT or GRE?

Question

Divakshi Arora · Accepted Answer

Yes, you can apply to the Nova SBE MiM without a GMAT or GRE. The school allows applicants to submit their profile with just their academics and experience, and many admitted students do exactly that. If you have a 7.0+ CGPA, one or two internships in areas like finance, marketing, analytics, or operations, and a basic understanding of why you want the MiM, that&rsquo;s usually enough.
Nova mainly checks whether you can handle the coursework and whether you&rsquo;ve had some real exposure to business tasks through internships &mdash; not necessarily full-time work. A test score only becomes useful if your grades are low or you want to stand out for competitive tracks.

Nova doesn&rsquo;t require a GMAT/GRE, so you can apply without it as long as the rest of the profile shows you&rsquo;re prepared.
&bull; Having at least one proper internship (finance, consulting, marketing, data, etc.) helps a lot.
&bull; Part-time roles like helping in a family business, campus leadership, or running small projects also count as relevant experience.
&bull; A GMAT only really helps if you have a CGPA below ~7 and want to strengthen that part of the application.
&bull; Applicants with decent grades, basic business exposure, and clear post-MiM goals get admitted without any test score.
So yes &mdash; skipping the GMAT/GRE is totally fine if your academics and internships already show you&rsquo;re ready.
