Thanks,
Rahul | It is always good to have the GMAT score before the application opens, so that you can concentrate on writing essays rather than on GMAT, once the app starts. In that case try to give the GMAT before Jun/July.
Reg seats, it is recommended that you reserve the seat a month before. These months will be very busy in India. Many people will be trying to give their GMATs in these months. | | | | | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to sssiva03 For This Useful Post: | | | | | |

@ Kamnashish,
ISB looks at the following 6 selection criterias
1. GMAT score
2. Acads
3. Work Exp.
4. Essays ( part of the application)
5. Recos ( 2 no.s)
6. Interview
The relative weightage of these parameters is anybodys guess. But since there are 6 parameters of evaluation one can compensate weak area with others.
ISB Co09 do have students with 2-3 years work exp. Quote:

Thanks Sabthagiri for your whole-hearted help and support to this thread.
Anybody pls clarify me one thing - what is the best time(say may be June or before) to give GMAT since for the academic year 2009-2010, the admission kickstarts in July 2008 and it takes atleast 3 weeks for the GMAT score to reach the ISB authorities?

Thanks  | Ideally you take the test a couple of months (atleast) before the application deadline.
Two Reasons:
1. You have time to have one another go in case you feel that there is scope for improvement over the first attempt. (You can attempt the GMAT only once per month)
2. You dont have to parallely do your GMAT prep and application prep.
