OET releases the exam date for entire year at once. You can select your preferred date (When you think you should take the test). Remember, OET slots fill up quickly, especially in major Indian cities. You can get another one after one or two days, too.
Still, it is advisable to book at least 2–3 months in advance to secure your desired date and centre. Early booking helps avoid last-minute unavailability or the need to travel long distances for the test.
