More students are applying to Indian business schools using their GMAT scores, according to data for the testing year 2011. With a soaring number of business programmes in India accepting GMAT scores, the number of scores from Indian test takers sent to US business schools has dropped to 55% in 2011 from 67% in 2007, while Indian schools went from 12% in 2007 to 15% in 2011. Other destinations have also become attractive to Indian students, such as Singapore (from 4% in 2007 to 7% in 2011) and the UK (from 6% in 2007 to 10% in 2011). Schools such as INSEAD and Singapore Management University in Singapore and the ISB in Hyderabad have increased their profile in the past few years.
