Score statistics

The 2027–28 admissions policy explicitly accepts GMAT Focus and gives no numeric minimum. IIMA’s reported 2026–27 incoming cohort had an average GMAT Focus score of 652 among 108 Focus submitters. This is a cohort average, not a cutoff; no Focus median, minimum, maximum or score range is published in the cited official profile.[70][74]

The 2027–28 policy requires a valid GMAT but does not name the Focus edition or publish Focus-specific cohort results, average, median, range or cutoff. IIMB’s programme page gives a historical ‘GMAT Profile 2025’ of low 650, average 704 and high 770; these integer scores are on the legacy-style scale and describe cohort results, not admission thresholds. No 2027–28 Focus score statistic is published.[76][80]

IIMC’s current 2027-28 policy applies the same 50th-percentile minimum to Focus and Classic and cites the July 2025 concordance example of Focus 565 / Classic 600. GMAC’s concordance table gives 565 Focus as about the 50.9th percentile. IIMC says the AY 2026-27 enrolled cohort’s average was above the 85th percentile, but does not publish a numerical Focus average or cohort median, nor an applicant-class score range.[80][82]

The current IPMX policy requires a valid ‘GMAT/GRE’ score but does not explicitly identify GMAT Focus Edition, or publish a Focus minimum, cohort average/median, or admittedstudent range. It does state that test-centre scores are required. Obtain written confirmation from IIML for the Focus edition and score-validity rules; do not infer a Focus cutoff from placement figures.[88][89]

GMAT Focus Edition is explicitly accepted and GMAT/GRE is required, but ISB publishes no Focus-specific cohort mean, median, or 2027–28 minimum/range in the current admission policy. ISB’s FAQ reports a 530–780 GMAT range for the “current class,” but does not identify the class year or exam edition; it must not be treated as a Focus range. ISB states that there is no minimum score.[94][95]

IIMK expressly documents acceptance of GMAT Focus Edition for PGPBL admission, but publishes no Focus-specific minimum, percentile floor, cohort average/median, or score range in the materials reviewed. Do not treat an external score-concordance benchmark as an IIMK cutoff.[80][101]

The current policy accepts a valid GMAT score and explicitly adds GMAT Focus; it does not publish a separate legacy-scale minimum. IIMA reported a 2026–27 cohort average of 691 among 19 legacy GMAT submitters. That is a cohort average, not a cutoff; no legacy-GMAT median, minimum, maximum or score range is published in the cited official profile. Legacy and Focus averages are from different exam editions/scales and should not be treated as directly comparable thresholds.[70][74]

IIMB’s historical GMAT Profile 2025 reports cohort low 650, average 704 and high 770 (legacy-scale cohort statistics). The average is not a median; the low is not a minimum admissions cutoff. IIMB separately states there is no minimum GMAT score. No current-cycle 2027–28 cohort average, median, score range or admissions cutoff is published.[76][80]

The policy’s corresponding Classic/legacy-scale example for its 50thpercentile minimum is 600; GMAC’s table maps 600 to about the 50.9th percentile. This is a minimumeligibility example, not a class average or recommended target. No numeric legacy-scale cohort mean, median or published score range was located.[80][82]

The 2027–28 IPMX policy likewise does not separate legacy-scale GMAT from Focus, and IIML publishes no official IPMX GMAT minimum, maximum, admitted-score range, mean or median on either scale. The published 30% selection weight is not a cutoff. The Class of 2026 placement report’s INR CTC average/median are compensation metrics, not GMAT statistics.[88][89]

ISB expressly accepts GMAT 10th Edition (legacy) as well as Focus. Its Class of 2025 placement report labels 719 as the cohort’s average GMAT, not a cut-off; that report does not identify the exam edition, so it is safest to treat it as a historical, scale-unspecified cohort average rather than convert it to Focus. The official FAQ’s 530–780 range likewise lacks scale and class-year detail. ISB does not publish a verified cohort median or scale-specific minimum in these sources.[94][95]

The current admissions page lists GMAT scores from the previous three years and separately states that GMAT Focus scores are accepted too, supporting a GMAT route for legacyscale applicants as well as Focus applicants. No separate legacy GMAT cutoff or admitted-class average/ median/range is published in the current materials reviewed.[80][101]
