1. Generally recommended period is Jan-Jun of the year you apply i.e Jan-Jun 2006 to apply in October 2006 for July 2007 entry.

2. + 3. Check b-school websites.

4. Depends on economies + ranking of the school. Good ecomonies and top school will mean good opportunities.

1. For fall 2007 entry, anytime before October 2006

2 and 3.

  1. Fill out the application forms including essays
  2. Submit your test scores - GMAT & TOEFL directly from Pearson and ETS
  3. Fill out your recommenders' names and contact info
  4. Your recommender will receive a link for online filling of recommendation from the B-school or will get a paper based reco form from you.
  5. Submit all these info before the deadlines.
  6. Wait until you hear from the B-schools (interview call / Accept without interview / Reject)
  7. If interviewed wait for Results...
I suggest you search this forum for threads related to "Newbies" like you. Then visit individual B-school websites.

P.s.: Admission process for MBA from B-school abroad and from IIMs are like two poles of the earth.
