Yes, you can apply to HEC Paris MIM without a GMAT, but only under specific conditions.
They offer a GMAT or GRE waiver for candidates who’ve studied at top institutions with strong academic performance. The waiver isn’t automatic, you’ll need to formally request it while applying, and the admissions team will review your profile before making a decision. This is clearly mentioned in their official FAQ section for the MIM program.
HEC will expect your academic transcripts and other documents to show strong quantitative and reasoning skills. Even if you ask for a waiver, they may still reach out and request a GMAT later if they feel it’s needed to complete your file.
So yes you can apply without GMAT, but only if your academics are solid and your background matches what HEC considers waiver-worthy. It’s best to submit the waiver request early and follow their exact instructions on the HEC Paris MIM page.

Yes, HEC Paris does offer a GMAT waiver for its Master in Management (MIM) program, but only in specific cases.
As per HEC Paris' official website, if you hold a degree from certain international institutions where academic excellence is proven, you can request a waiver for the GMAT or GRE. However, this is not guaranteed ,the admissions team will review your full profile to decide if a waiver can be granted.
If you don’t submit a GMAT score, your transcripts, academic record, and personal achievements must be strong enough to prove your quantitative and analytical skills. In some cases, the school may still request a test score later if they feel your application needs more support.
To be safe, it's best to email the admissions team directly with your academic background and request a waiver early. You’ll find the waiver form and eligibility details in the "Admissions FAQ" section on the HEC Paris MIM program page.
