AIM conducts its own test, the AIM Admission Test (AIMAT). Because of this, GMAT is not a requirement. However, if you have taken and passed the GMAT within the last three (3) years, it will also be considered in lieu of the AIMAT. We require a minimum GMAT Score of 550. However, the GMAT score requirement for an applicant who is applying for scholarship is 600.

The AIMAT fee is $20.00 or its equivalent in pesos. For Indian applicants, the India Representative Office charges Rs., 2,500 for its processing fee which is inclusive of the AIMAT fee.

As a policy, we do not give out AIMAT results to applicants. Should the applicant pass the exam, he/she will be called for an interview at once.

For overseas AIMAT schedules, please contact the Representative Office in your area.

The AIM campus in Makati City, Philippines will administer the AIMAT starting January 12, 2008. Please contact the AIM Student Services Admissions and Registrar (SSAR) Office at (+632) 892-4011 ext. 108 or email: admissions@aim.edu for AIMAT reservations and scheduling details.

Visa

AIM requires 47(A)2 visa for overseas students. This special non-immigrant visa permits the student to bring his/her spouse and children to the country. The student, furthermore, enjoys the right to be exempted from the payment of visa fees. The visa is valid only as long as you are a student of AIM. Exchange/overseas students are not required to have a working visa. [TOP]

Interviews

The score in the qualifying exam is considered along with other factors like work experience, transcript of records, and the panel interview by faculty members of AIM. For local applicants, interviews will be conducted at the AIM office. For overseas applicants, the faculty assigned to do the marketing trip will conduct the interviews. Generally, if you have two (2) below-average scores, you will not be interviewed anymore.

The AIM Admissions Committee conducts interviews with almost all applicants to help them assess the applicants' leadership, interpersonal, and communication skills.[TOP]
