All the rules and guidelines prescribed by the GMAC are equally applicable to everyone, regardless of which country they come from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An interesting thing to note here is that there might be some specific rules about the identity proof that you need to produce at your test center according to your nationality. For example, Indian GMAT takers must produce their passport as ID proof when they go for the test. <ins>Aadhar Card will be acceptable only in case of online exam<\/ins>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on ID proof requirements, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mba.com\/exams\/gmat\/plan-for-exam-day\/identification-requirements\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">read this article by mba.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>For Indian Nationals, carrying a passport to the test center is essential. <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/gmat-770-success-story-anuj-cracked-gmat-with-a-60-hours-work-week\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anuj, who scored 770 on the GMAT, made this error once.

The majority of GMAT takers are either under-graduate students in their final year or working professionals. However, you can take the GMAT even if you do not fall under either of these categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-age-criteria-for-gmat\">Age criteria for GMAT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/gmat-age-limit.jpg\" alt=\"gmat age limit | gmat eligibility criteria\" class=\"wp-image-14696\" width=\"243\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/gmat-age-limit.jpg 250w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/gmat-age-limit-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can take the GMAT if you\u2019re 13 years of age or above. However, there are two things worth noting here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If you\u2019re between 13 and 18 years of age, you need your&nbsp;parent or legal guardian to sign the permission letter to allow you to take the test. (You can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/gmat-parental-consent-form.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">download the Parental Consent form&nbsp;<\/a>get it signed by your parent\/ legal guardian and mail it to&nbsp;GMATParentalConsent@Pearson.com)<\/li><li>If you\u2019re 18 years of age or above, you can simply register for the GMAT and take it without any permission from anyone.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The good thing about the GMAT is that there is no upper limit on age. In fact, many GMAT aspirants above the age of 30 take the test every year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Here are a few more articles on the GMAT.
