⏰ So… When Should You Take the GMAT for ISB Round 2?
Here’s the short answer:
Your official GMAT score needs to reach ISB before the Round 2 deadline, which usually falls in late November to early December (specific date depends on the application cycle).
➡️ That means your GMAT exam should ideally be scheduled by early November at the latest, since official score reporting takes 5–7 calendar days to reflect in ISB’s system.
📌 Important Considerations:
-
Booking Late = Risky: If your GMAT is too close to the deadline and your score delays even by a few days, your application may not be considered complete.
-
Retake Buffer: Plan early in case you need a retest. Don’t assume one GMAT attempt is enough — build buffer time in your prep schedule.
-
Unofficial Score Isn’t Enough: ISB requires the official score report directly from GMAC (or ETS for GRE) — so don’t rely on the unofficial score you see on test day.
-
Round 1 vs Round 2: While Round 2 is perfectly fine to apply in (many get admits and scholarships), you must be strategic with test timing if skipping Round 1.
✅ Quick GMAT Prep Timeline (If You Start Now):
-
August – September: Begin or intensify prep
-
Late September – October: Take mock tests + register for GMAT
-
By Early November: Complete your GMAT exam
-
By Mid-November: Ensure official scores are sent to ISB

🎯 Final Word
Don’t let poor planning around the GMAT timeline derail your ISB Round 2 dreams. Start now, book early, and stay ahead of the deadlines.
