Today, most MBA applicants from big cities like Mumbai, prefer online GMAT coaching because it offers greater flexibility, highly reputed coaches from around the country, and better preparation efficiency compared to traditional classroom programs.
Students preparing for the GMAT are often balancing:
For many applicants, traveling across Mumbai for fixed classroom schedules becomes difficult to manage consistently. As a result, online GMAT preparation has become increasingly popular, with nearly 75% of aspirants in Mumbai taking GMAT coaching from reputed tutors via Zoom and other online platforms.
One major advantage of online coaching is access to recorded sessions, which allows students to revisit important concepts, strategies, and practice discussions anytime during their preparation journey. Additionally, online coaching helps students save significant commuting time to hubs like Churchgate, Bandra, Dadar, Borivali, and other parts of Mumbai, giving them more time for consistent preparation.
To put this into perspective, more than 1 in 3 MBA aspirants who worked with us had previously enrolled in center-based GMAT prep programs before switching to private one-on-one GMAT coaching with LilacBuds tutors. With at least 10+ hours of personalized preparation, many of these students were able to strengthen their sectional weaknesses and improve their final GMAT scores by 20+ points.
We understand that choosing the right mentor and guidance can be overwhelming. Here are some commonly asked questions to help you make an informed decision.
There isn't a fixed GMAT score required for admission because business schools evaluate applicants holistically. However, applicants should generally aim to be close to or above the average GMAT score of their target schools. For example, candidates targeting ISB often aim for 615-675+ (GMAT Focus), while highly competitive international MBA programs such as INSEAD, London Business School, Wharton, Kellogg, and Chicago Booth typically attract applicants with 655-705+ (GMAT Focus) alongside strong academic and professional profiles. During our consultation, we help students determine a realistic target score based on their experience, undergraduate performance, and MBA goals.
Yes, many students improve by 80-100 points with a structured preparation plan, although the exact improvement depends on their starting level, consistency, and ability to learn from mistakes. Rather than solving thousands of questions, successful candidates focus on concept mastery, timed practice, mock-test analysis, and personalized feedback. Students starting around 555-605 often have the greatest opportunity for improvement when they follow a disciplined preparation strategy.
Choosing the right GMAT coaching institute involves more than comparing fees or classroom size. Look for programs that offer experienced mentors, one-to-one coaching, personalized study plans, structured mock-test analysis, flexible scheduling, and guidance tailored to your MBA application timeline. Before enrolling, ask whether you will work directly with the coach who will mentor you throughout your preparation. Personalized mentoring and consistent feedback often make a greater difference than generic classroom instruction.
For many students, online GMAT coaching is actually more effective because it provides flexibility, personalized attention, and greater accountability.
