why won't you try taking it yourself so you would know?


seriously, I heard UP MBA's entrance exam is harder than AIM's.

in my batch, 450 took the test and 150 were accepted. my score? borderline! about 60 eventually graduated.

i took the AIM test the same year and i found it a little harder. the funny thing is, i fared better in that one (or so the interviewer said).

UP's MBA is averaging a 900+ applicants since 5 years now. 110 are initially accepted. got this from a reliable source.

In fairness, the college facilities have improved a lot.

Is it tough? What types of test questions are in it?

Hmm. If you have taken the GMAT and scored decently (i.e. 700 above), UP MBA GPAT should be quite easy;)

So, is it made up of the same/similar components? (data sufficiency, critical reasoning, analytical writing, sentence correction, reading comprehension, problem solving)

^Not really, but some questions, especially those in the reading comprehension, sentence correction, problem solving part looked like they were GMAT based.. . And there was definitely no analytical writing given the time constraint. There's a logic part, though. Sorta like an IQ test with pictures and stuff.:)

You planning to take it? If so, good luck.

Yup, although as part of the admission requirements for the Master of Finance program, not MBA.

Hi guys.

Has anyone taken the GPAT in UP? This is the entrance exam you need to take if you want to enroll in the MBA program of UP.

Any feedback on the areas you need to review to do well in GPAT?
