Excelia does not require the GMAT, GRE or Tage Mage for its Master in Management. Admission runs through an online application and a video interview rather than a standardised admissions test, with the usual supporting documents (CV, proof of academic level) and a language requirement — typically B2-level English or French unless your prior degree was taught in that language. Because there is no admissions test and Excelia does not publish an admitted-student test average, there is no score range to quote here. If you are weighing test-optional routes generally, see our guide to a MiM in Europe without the GMAT.

A GMAT or GRE is not required to apply to the Excelia Business School MiM — it is one of the 75 of 118 Master's in Management we track (about 64%) that admit without a required test. See every European MiM you can apply to without a GMAT on our MiM without the GMAT shortlist, or read how GMAT waivers work.
Most European MiM programs, including this one, accept the GRE and often the GMAT Focus Edition or a school-specific test as alternatives, and weigh the whole application — academics, internships, essays, and interview — rather than the score alone.

- Excelia Business School — Master in Management (Programme Grande École). NEGATIVE RE-TESTED 2026-09-05, and both reproduced — this is the control case for the sweep. The page still names no GMAT, GRE or Tage Mage requirement and publishes no admitted-student score average, and the rolling-admissions claim is now quotable in the school's own words rather than inferred from silence: candidates 'can complete this assessment at any time throughout the year, with no predefined session dates'. Also captured, and previously only described as 'a fast turnaround': candidates 'have 5 days to respond to a series of questions' in the online video interview, and 'will receive notification of their admission or non-admission within 6 days following their interview'. The €50 admission fee is confirmed on the same page. FEE INTAKE CHECKED 2026-09-05: the page still prices by entry year without an academic-year label anywhere on it — €14,000–€15,000 EU and €14,750–€15,750 non-EU, unchanged since 23 June 2026 — so no intake can be attached to this fee without inventing one. FEE BASIS CHECKED 2026-09-06 (P36): the fee table gives TWO rates for the same programme year, split by entry point — 'Year 3 (First-year entry) €14,000' against 'Year 3 (Third-year entry) €15,000', and the same split at Years 4 and 5, where the second column is labelled 'Third-year entry or Master'. A bachelor's-holder entering the master cycle therefore pays €15,000 (EU) / €15,750 (non-EU) for both years, i.e. €30,000 / €31,500 — not the €28,000-€31,000 band this profile carried, whose floor was the first-year entrant's rate. feesNumeric corrected 29,000 to 30,000 (EU basis, matching the convention used at Rennes and ISCTE).
