This was my second Gmat exam (first one being in New Delhi). When compared Puna center does not stand a chance, otherwise it is a decent place. Professional & Courteous staff - Compact center with very few computers - terrible bathroom - and a bit on the outskirts of Pune(even though Pune is a small city). A piece of advice : do not take ur gmat here if you do not speak Hindi.

Delhi center on the other hand is bang in the center of south delhi - bigger - much more international feel to it - staff is excellent and actually encouraging.

Parking facility : Nope, its in the middle of CBD. Take a train. The station is just a 5 min walk.
Invigilator Reviews : Mixed. There were two ladies there. The first one was a little mean. And she gave me one of those sheets to work on and one non working pen. So while I was writing my AWA I had to go out to get another one (my time was still running). And once my quant started I couldn't be bothered going out and looking for her so I just kept erasing on my own. then while I was 3/4ths into the quant section another guy came in to write the test and the really nice lady came in. She gave me like 7 sheets. Which were enough.
Environment : Alright. The keyboards are VERY noisy. And there are people writing all sorts of tests there. So people come and go. But it wasn't too noisy.

Having said this, I don't think I was heavily disadvantaged. I got a 730 (Q49, V41). I might've done slightly better on the quant had I not spent so much time erasing. But I think its a decent reflection of my abilities so I don't have much to complain about.

For anyone who takes a test there. My friend took the GMAT 7 days before me and was given extra sheets by the nice invigilator. I suggest you ask for extra sheets early on.
