Great Lakes Institute of Management adopts a flexible approach to entrance exam scores for MBA admissions, without setting fixed cutoffs. Minimum scores, or 'Safe Scores, ' are determined after reviewing the overall applicant pool post-application completion. While indicative scores include 85+ percentile in XAT/CAT, a 600+ GMAT score, or 98+ percentile in CMAT, these are not rigid benchmarks. Exceptional profiles with slightly lower scores may still be considered, emphasizing a holistic evaluation. Conversely, high aptitude test scores alone may not secure admission if other aspects of the candidate's record are lacking. Great Lakes prioritizes well-rounded candidates with strong overall track records, acknowledging that test scores are just one aspect of the comprehensive selection process.Entrance ExamsIndicative ScoresXAT/CAT85+ PercentileGMAT600+ ScoreCMAT98+ Percentile
