What Duolingo score do you need for Indiana University South Bend?

The page lists Duolingo among the testing options for both undergraduate and graduate degree programmes. It notes that some graduate programmes may require a higher level and tells applicants to review their programme's admission requirements. It gives no Duolingo validity period or subscore rule.

Non-degree students may be admitted without proof of English at the discretion of the admitting academic unit.

For comparison, the same English proficiency page sets IELTS at 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduate applicants.

Study routes also meet the requirement: Level 9 at The Language Company, Level 109 (undergraduate) or Level 112 (graduate) at ELS Language Center, or Level 7 at the IU Bloomington Center for English Language Training. Students may also sit the IU South Bend Interim Placement Examination, arranged through its ESL programme.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your IU South Bend programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
