The test center located in Ganguly street could be conveniently located. I booked a morning slot. The staff was very polite and helpful. It was very hygienic and clean. All the things like sheets, pens etc were kept ready beforehand. Earplugs were provided for noise cancellation. It was already quiet though. The palm scanning process in between breaks was also smooth. The washrooms were also very clean. Separate clean lockers were provided to keep our stuff. I would definitely recommend you to take the GMAT in this particular center if you stay in Kolkata or any nearby city. Good luck with the exam.

Agile Tech, Kali Ghat, Kolkata India. Agile Technologies and Solutions is located in Ishwar Ganguly Street and is near by the Kali Ghat Metro Station.
It's located in a prime area and the Google Maps location is perfect.
The Center is small but sufficient for the purpose. The person concerned is very effective in his approach. They have lockers, bathrooms, water dispensers, etc.
My test got stuck, had to change the PC twice. This actually affected my mind subconsciously. Results were bad.
Small things affect the performance in such tests as GMAT, GRE, etc.
Nonetheless, technical issues happen everywhere but the frequency isn't worrisome.

Firstly, although the place is well listed on google maps and tagged everywhere, finding the entry point to the building is a task. The center is on the 4th floor of the building and the list is operational only till the 3rd.
Moving on, once you enter the test center, it is quite well maintained and the staff is cordial and well behaved. I had an issue with the worksheets they provide and in-spite of keeping my hand raised for several seconds the worksheet was not changed and i had to literally barge out and collect the worksheets myself.
Further more, in the IR section the link failed. All the candidates were then escorted outside and the entire system had to be rebooted again.The facilitator did however award us a couple of minutes for it, but the damage was already done.
This definitely led to the decline in the score of IR section and was a bad experience throughout. I would highly recommend the test takers to be careful while booking this center.

The Test center is located near to Kalighat metro station and at a walking distance from Kalighat temple. The center can be reached conveniently from any location. The center is free from noise and disturbances and actually the top floor of an apartment.
The test administrator madam was friendly and guided thoroughly regarding the requirements and test taking procedure.
The test room and the test taking conditions are OK; however the rest room is a bit congested.
I would definitely recommend this center to all and planning to retake on same location.
Reach your center in time and all the best for your exam!!

I took GMAT at this location. Had a very bad experience with the seating location. First and foremost, that's a outsourced operations center. And people were working in that location. The place where I was sitting and giving the exam, was too distracting, the office printers were in the room, and some of the people were just banging the door open and coming and taking print outs. Proctors were helpless. Secondly, the drinking water was too too bad. Absolutely unhygienic. Advise all you guys to avoid this location, because its on the busiest marketplace of the city and the metro and traffic horns will distract you a lot.

The Kolkata Test centre is located near Kali Ghat temple. Locating the test centre took me some time. It is recommended to scout the exact location on a previous day as the center is a bit isolated and on the fourth floor of a building, whose entrance is towards the side. The building is located towards the northern-most metro exit of the Kalighat Metro station on the side of the temple itself.
On any average day, the center is free from any noise or disturbances. However, the lady in charge informed that they had re-scheduled a test day on a previous occasion due to loud speakers by a local club on probably "Rabindra Jayanti".
The lady in-charge and the test centre staff are very helpful and supportive. The centre provided me with a pair of industrial ear plugs.
The centre is a little small with 6 computers in apparently the only room,which I was seated in. There are two toilets. Arrive 30-45 mins in advance to avoid waiting for verification formalities, if the centre is full.
could you please clarify on that as per your experience?
--I say based on my experience
Were the earplugs provided to you effective?
-- I would say earplugs were OK.
how many test takers were there along with you on the day of your test?
--About 4
Was the atmosphere inside comfortable to properly take the exam, esp the Verbal section that requires a lot of concentration?
--IMO , yes
Hi iRahuLive,
Did you take the test from the Kolkata test center? If yes, then please share your experience. Please revert as i plan to travel to Kolkata to give the exam.
I gave my exam at brainware University at barasat ...there was constant distraction as the people who were sitting outside were constantly chatting very loudly and some construction was also going on. Even after being asked to not talk loudly they continued to do so and asked us to use the ear plugs which doesn't work by the way . The experience was not good.

The Kolkata Test centre is located in a isolated place and free from any noise and disturbances.It is on the fourth floor of a building in a noise free place near Kali Ghat temple and the atmosphere is quite good.
The test centre administration is also very helpful and supportive and is ready to help you in any circumstances.The lady who is incharge is friendly and very cordial.
I would highly recommend people from east to give the test in the same test centre.Kolkata being the metrO in the east is quite easy to reach and test takers can take that advantage.
how much time it took the score card to reached at Home and Institute IIM or ISB? from where the score card is dispatched after test date? how many seats are available at test centre? whether one need to carry any sweater etc with them?
Hey Aahista in the Kalighat is wearing masks mandatory during the exam?
