GMAT scores can be sent in two ways to B-schools. In the case of the test centre GMAT exam, students can select up to 5 programmes to which they wish to apply without any additional cost. After this, every additional GMAT score report is chargeable at $35 each. In the case of an online GMAT exam, a candidate can send his/her scores to 5 B-Schools within 48 hours of receiving the official GMAT score. If he/she wants to send his/her GMAT scores to more B-Schools or programmes, every additional GMAT Score report shall be chargeable at $35 each. It is important for the candidates to select the right courses/programmes beforehand. In order to do this, it is advised that research different programmes, their GMAT cut offs, career outcomes, etc.

Candidates will receive their unofficial GMAT score report immediately after the completion of their GMAT exam. The unofficial GMAT score report will contain the scores of the Verbal Reasoning section, Quantitative Reasoning section, and Integrated Reasoning section. It will not contain an AWA score. Candidates will receive their official GMAT score within 7-20 business days. The official GMAT score report will include the AWA scores as well. Once the official GMAT score report is available, a candidate will be notified via email. In case, if a candidate has taken the GMAT exam more than once in the past 5 years, the official score report will include all the GMAT exams.
