This may sound silly but it is very important for me to clarify.

I took my GMAT on 23rd of NOV and got a decent score of 710.

But in the process, I think I have accidentally selected my GPA as 3.8 and the official score report has the same. But my actual GPA is no where close to it. Also, we do not have a formal practice/procedure of measuring GPA in India.

Should I ask for an other official Score Report(with the correct GPA or atleast the GPA field being blank) OR will it suffice if I can mention this small mistake in my Application?

I think it would be best to provide accurate records in your applications. Getting your correct GPA reported may be as simple as one phone call to GMAC or your testing office, and a reprint of your report.

Best of luck!

Sorry for the delayed reply, but I completely agree with Eric! Just make sure you have an accurate representation on your actual application.
