There’s no strict eligibility in terms of degree or nationality—anyone can take the GMAT as long as they’re 18 years or older. Those between 13 and 17 can also take it, but need written parental consent.

What matters more is why you're taking it. Most test-takers are aiming for an MBA or business master’s abroad, and universities don’t ask for any specific undergrad stream. Even students from arts or science backgrounds can take the GMAT.

Also, you don’t need to have work experience to be eligible for GMAT. That’s something schools may ask for separately, but it’s not a test requirement. And you can take the test up to 5 times in a 12-month period (with 16 days gap between attempts), 8 times total in your lifetime.
