Thank you Divyanshu. Umm...Hinduja seems to be closed. Are you referring to Pearson center at Andheri? Is Pearson functional now?

Hello, can anyone help me regarding opening of centers in India? Preferably at Surat and Mumbai? Has anyone given the offline gmat under these circumstances?

pradiptirastogi Pearson Exam center in Mumbai has been conducting the GMAT exam since August, you may check the availability once.

Yes, pradiptirastogi, I'm referring to the Pearson Andheri center. Although Hinduja center is closed for now, however I would always suggest you to appear for the exam at the Pearson Andheri center, considering the stable internet connection, infrastructure and the staff.
As for whether the center is currently conducting tests, I would suggest you to look the dates at either mba.com or drop a mail to the GMAT team regarding the same.

Had anyone issues with moving his or her laptop after the quant session? For quant, I will need the whiteboard and thus the distance to the monitor will be more spaced out. For verbal, however, I feel much more confident sitting at a closer range to the monitor. Do you think this will be an issue if I pull the laptop closer and lay aside the whiteboard as I never take notes on the verbal section?

There is no minimum time. you can book one straightaway on mba.com

Between 2 online attempts there is probably a 16 day gap needed but not between 2 different delivery modes.

Hi Friends
i am scheduled for gmat online tomorrow (10th oct). I was just wondering when do we do the room checkups and uploading of IDs. I thought we had to do it one day before but I don't see any link. I am already done with system check though.
Do i need to do anything else today apart from system check?
Also i have will have Aadhar card(only checked on gmatclub, its acceptable) as id proof because it contains my original address and the one i have put in gmac info. Rest all other ids have a different address, so can't use them. So I wanted to know do we have the drop down option for it when we checkin.

You need to submit documents when you start actual checkin process. So when you start checkin 30 mins before exam you will be prompted to enter phone no. Then you will receive text message with link to upload ID and surrounding pics.
Nothing else needs to be done today.

If this is correct, then this is news. The earlier understanding to date has been that scheduling requirements for the online and offline tests are separate from each other. This meant that a testtaker could schedule online for today and an offline for tomorrow. But there had to a 16-day gap between two attempts for the *same* platform, but not two different platforms.

UPDATE1: Upon checking with official MBA.com account, it appears that the earlier understanding is still CORRECT. There is no 16 day gap required between online and offline.

The 16-day gap is only required for scheduling on the *same* platforms, i.e., online-online or offline-offline.

UPDATE2: The language on the GMAC site is ambiguous. It provides the following notification:

"GMAC® Assessments policy requires at least 16 days between appointments."

But GMAC site still allows for scheduling within 16 days if the schedules are for different platforms. It does not allow for scheduling earlier than 16 days if the platform is the same.

Hey arshiji,

All the very best for your Exam !!! :thumbsup:

Just a quick tip. For the online version I cannot say, but for the Offline / In-center exam version, I have personally faced a problem with other ID proofs apart from the passport. I believe they don't mention this explicitly but for Indians, passport is a must. So would suggest you to keep your passport handy, just in case somebody demands it.

I had the same question before my exam.
Dont worry you will do it just before starting exam.
Not sure about aadhar card. I took it in USA and used Driving license. Keep passport also ready. They want to check your name and photo should match. what ever ID details you have given in mba.com should be good.
Good luck.

arshiji You'll get a link roughly 30 mins before your exam, just follow the instructions mentioned and assuming things haven't changed, then you'll have to upload photos of your room. The application would ask you to upload photos of areas towards the right, left, front and back of the place where you'd be giving the exam.
As far as Id is concerned, I think passport is the only acceptable id proof for the candidates from India, however you may check the identity requirements on mba.com.

Hi Divyanshu
thanks for information
so the thing is i do have the ID but the address is not where i live now and only aadhar card has the permanent correct address.
Which 2 information they compare for address? the address i have put in my mba.com profile? because that i can still change right to one with my passport address?

Your passport with your name and country is sufficient. The address is not essential.
