Candidates around the globe can do their GMAT exam dates registrations from anywhere. There is no such difference in scheduling online and scheduling by calling GMAT customer service, though mostly 95% of registrations are made on mba.com each year.
Before GMAT registrations, you need to prioritise your B-schools where you want to take admission to pursue MBA program. This will give you a fair idea about their admission dates and procedure. For example, if one want to take admission in Indian School of Business (ISB), which is one of the most prestigious B-school in India, then note down that it follows two admission cycle:
| Cycle 1 | Cycle 2 | |
| Application Deadline | October 15, 2016 | January 15, 2017 |
| Offer Decision-1 | November 10, 2016 | February 10, 2017 |
| Offer Decision-2 | December 05, 2016 | March 05, 2017 |
| Acceptance Date | 10 days from the date of the offer | |
So, accordingly, you can choose your dates from anywhere between 2-3 months prior to ISB’s admission dates. But trying to book a date 30 days prior to the exam is not a good idea as Pearson VUE and GMAC are responsible for taking bookings from all around the world.
Aspirants tend to schedule between 30 and 60 days in advance of their test date and prefer a Saturday and Sunday for the GMAT Exam. Now you know, why and when to select a date in advance.
Anyhow, before the exam, you’ll be tensed for the exam, you don’t want to bear all this mess. So start planning early, like 2-3 months prior. Choose your desired institute, check out their admission dates, select your GMAT Exam Dates, select at what you want to start the registration process.
In case, you want to reschedule your GMAT exam, then rescheduling fees will be levied by GMAC, which you don’t want. So, it’s recommended that choose your dates wisely and carefully.
