    1. Dear Gaurav,

      When your application is approved by PMI, they send you a list of prometric testing centres. On the prometric site you can see the available slots and book one of them. Go to the centre at that time and give the exam. Availability of the slots will be different at different centres. I check the available in Mumbai a few days ago – in Dec, availability is good, in Jan and Feb, it is low and in Mar, it is very low. The status is changing every day. If you want to give exam in Jan or Feb, I will suggest you to book a slot as early as possible. Also see that you are well prepared at by that date. This was about CBT. If you are asking about PBT, then schedule for PBT for 2018 is not published yet.
