GMAT
The GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) is a globally recognized exam used for admission into MBA and Business Master’s programmes around the world. It evaluates key skills such as analytical thinking, quantitative reasoning, verbal reasoning, and data interpretation — all essential for success in business school and management careers.
The GMAT is especially valued by universities in the USA, UK, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Asia, and is often considered a strong indicator of academic and professional potential.
At Clockwise Education Academy, our GMAT support is guidance-focused. Instead of classroom-based teaching, we help students understand score expectations, test registration steps, preparation methods, and academic planning. For students requiring long-term coaching or practice classes, we refer them to trusted GMAT training partners.
