How IMC Krems treats Duolingo results
If you upload a recognised certificate with your online application, no further proof is needed. Otherwise you can submit the certificate until the start of your studies. The page does not state a validity period, subscores or a Duolingo sending method.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 7.0 overall band for these master's programmes, and Cambridge at C1.

If your Duolingo score is short
No certificate is needed if English is your native language, or if you can show your prior studies were entirely in English or bilingual with at least 70 ECTS of courses taught in English, for example through a Diploma Supplement. The page does not describe a pathway route.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your IMC Krems programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
