<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">The GMAT can be taken at a test centre for <strong>US$275</strong> or online, from home, for <strong>US$300</strong> (GMAC's base fees with India selected; its payment page says locations can carry local taxes, and the India block shows no tax line). GMAC's help centre says the format, content and scoring are the same and that "business schools accept both formats equally". For an applicant to the five Indian one-year programmes checked here, that sentence is wrong in the case that matters most. <strong>ISB's PGP and the one-year programmes at IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta and IIM Lucknow each state that they do not accept an at-home score.</strong> A candidate who takes the easier-to-schedule online test first, scores well and then applies to any of them has to sit again at a centre. Other Indian programmes were not checked; read each one's own rule.</p>

IIM Calcutta accepts only the GMAT for MBAEx (no GRE route appears on its policy), and all five also require the score to be recent: see the date checks in the tool below.</p>

Test centre and online: every difference GMAC publishes

Sources: mba.com payment page; support.mba.com articles on test centre vs online, calculator and scratch paper, language, where and when, online exam rules and appointment issues; GMAT Policies and Procedures (12 Aug 2026). The last row is the schools' rule, not GMAC's. GMAC also lists mainland China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Sudan as places where the online exam is not available.

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">The exam is 64 questions in 2 hours 15 minutes: Quantitative Reasoning (21 questions), Verbal Reasoning (23) and Data Insights (20), 45 minutes each, in any order you choose, with one optional 10-minute break after the first or second section. You can review any question and change up to three answers per section on the Review &amp; Edit screen, but only if time remains. The on-screen calculator is available in Data Insights only. Answers are not submitted automatically when time runs out: you must click Next and confirm. If you overrun the break, in either format, GMAC may deduct the excess from the next section or treat the exam as abandoned and cancel the score. What differs is the appointment: about 2.5 hours at a centre; online, about 2.5 hours including check-in with a hard limit of 3.5 hours.</p>

<div style="background:#ffffff;color:#303846;border:1px solid #e4e1d8;border-radius:12px;padding:18px 20px;margin:18px 0"><h3 style="margin:0 0 10px;font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#171d29">Three things to know before you re-sit at a centre</h3><ul style="margin:0;padding-left:20px"><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6">You cannot convert a booking from online to test centre or back. GMAC's route is to cancel (cancellation refunds apply) and book again.</li><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6">Online and centre sittings share one allowance: at least 16 days between appointments and at most 5 in a rolling 12 months. An online attempt already used counts.</li><li style="margin:6px 0;line-height:1.6">The new GMAT Superscore takes your best section scores across all valid attempts, online or centre, and you cannot opt out of it being sent. The school report shows the date and delivery method of each section score used. None of the five schools has published how it treats a Superscore that includes an online section. Ask before you rely on one.</li></ul><p style="margin:12px 0 0;font-size:13px;color:#5b6472">Sources: support.mba.com on appointment issues, retake policies, and sending Superscores. The last point about school treatment is our observation: nothing was found either way.</p></div>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">There is also a simpler reason to start at a centre: a test-centre score is accepted by all five programmes checked in this guide, and GMAC says schools accept both formats, while the reverse is not true for these five. Check the rule of every other programme on your list. The extra planning (seat availability, travel on the day) costs less than a second US$275 sitting.</p>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">GMAC does not publish a list of Indian centres on the pages we read; the scheduler on mba.com shows what is available when you search. Its help centre says appointments are typically open up to six months ahead, are available year-round, and may be limited "during peak admissions periods". There is no admit card. You need an original, valid, unexpired ID whose name and date of birth <strong>exactly</strong> match your mba.com profile; testing outside your country of citizenship requires a passport. An expired passport is refused, and an ID mismatch forfeits the fee. Alternate ID must be approved at least five business days before the appointment.</p>

Already closed: IIMB Round 1 (17 Aug 2026), IIMA Round 1 (2 Sep 2026), IIML phase 1 (2 Sep 2026) and ISB Round 1 (20 Sep 2026). IIMA's dates are from the timeline graphic on its admission page; IIMB labels its dates tentative. GMAC's policy asks you to leave at least 20 days between the test and a deadline for the official score.

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7">ProSyllabus has no GMAT practice quizzes yet, so this guide does not point you to any. GMAC's own free Official Starter Kit on mba.com includes two full-length practice exams scored the same way as the real test.</p>

<p style="margin:0 0 16px;line-height:1.7"><span style="font-size:14px;color:#5b6472">ProSyllabus is an independent study site, not part of GMAC or of any school named here. Every rule is quoted or summarised from GMAC (mba.com, gmac.com, support.mba.com) and the schools' own admission pages; they decide every individual case.</span></p>
