MBA application deadlines for Academic Year beginning 2026 for the best business schools in Asia and Europe are given in the table. Some of these top business schools do not have specific application deadlines and start reviewing applications on a rolling admissions basis i.e., review MBA applications in the order in which they are received. After you have shortlisted the business schools that you will be applying to, send your MBA application as early as you can. There is a small advantage to applying in an earlier round of MBA application deadline than in a later round. However, send your application when you think your application is at its best. If you believe your GMAT score has to be beefed up before you can send your MBA application and intend taking the GMAT exam again, do it and apply in a later round. Do not send an application that is not your best just to catch an earlier round of deadline.
