What to do if your preferred centre is full
Centres have limited capacity. If you see “No available slots” for your first choice:
- Check other centres in the same city – Sometimes multiple venues exist.
- Look at nearby cities – A 2-hour train ride might have open slots.
- Consider the next session – DELE B2 is offered 3–4 times a year. If you can wait, register for the next window.
- Join a waitlist – Some centres offer a waitlist; if a slot opens, you’ll be notified.
- Contact Instituto Cervantes directly – They may add capacity or suggest alternatives.
Practical tips to secure your slot
- Register as soon as the window opens – Usually 2–3 months before the exam date.
- Set a calendar reminder – Slots in Delhi and Mumbai often fill within 48 hours.
- Keep your payment details ready – Delaying payment can lose your provisional slot.
- Double-check your exam level – You cannot change it after registration.
- Print the confirmation – You may need it at the exam centre.
