Primary answer
For students taking the GMAT at a physical test center in India, a valid, original Passport is the only accepted form of identification. Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, and Voter IDs are strictly prohibited and will lead to being barred from the exam. However, for the GMAT Online (at-home) version, the Aadhaar Card is technically accepted as a form of identification. Regardless of the format, the name on your ID must match your mba.com profile exactly. If your passport has expired, you must renew it before the test date; renewal slips or photocopies are not valid.
