Hi Kaumudi,
It is extremely difficult to answer this, but I will give it a shot.
I think you should first gauge your level of preparation and ability to spend more time studying for GMAT; if you can put in more efforts on GMAT prep, and are confident of increasing your score, you should definitely re-try GMAT and apply in future rounds.
However, if you are not confident and you strongly believe your profile is differentiated, you have certain points to compensate for the GMAT score, and a stellar application please go ahead and apply in R1.
The number of seats in R1 and R2 and almost the same, but the competition level differs. Hence, it is key you take a decision for yourself, irrespective of what others say. You can PM me for further questions.

Okay, I have a 680 (V40, Q43) in hand and a non-engineering/ non-IT/ non-Commerce profile, with 4+ years of work ex.
Should I then apply for R1 with the 680?
Or apply in R2 with a hopefully better score? I don't expect the 'better' to go above 700-710.
I am just concerned that in R2/R3 the seats get limited. Is the expected (but not guaranteed) increase in score (from 680 to 710) worth waiting for R2?
Thank you!

Hi - suppose I submit my application in Round 1 with my current score, and get a better score in my attempt around Sept 03. Can I then send across my update GMAT Score report to IIMB for consideration? Will they be open to assessing my application in light of the (hopefully) improved score?
I had the same question but they told that new score will not be considered. Only option is to apply in other rounds
