GRE

For Post Graduate engineering programs, a student should have a good Bachelor's degree in the relevant field of further study and the score of GRE/GATE is considered for Admissions. GATE is preferred more than GRE.
Candidates who have graduated from Indian universities may submit GATE scores instead.
Candidates should have a minimum GRE score of 320 (verbal & quantitative) and 3.5 (analytical), or a GMAT score of 650 and above. The minimum TOEFL scores for Internet Based Test (IBT) is 90; or IELTS score of 6.0. GRE and TOEFL scores will be valid for 5 years and 2 years respectively.

Yes, you can give IELTS only. Almost all the universities in Germany ask for IELTS. It is European based and TOEFL is American based.

Hi Krishna,
GRE exam is taken by Bachelor degree students to pursue MS programs in USA. Every university has its average GRE requirement, you must check the same on specific website. Scholarships are given by the universities abroad on merit-basis, your application will be considered for scholarship at the time of admission.

No. GRE entrance is meant for Masters applicants. In your case you will have to take german entrance exam known as feststellungsprufung after completing Studienkellog in Germany

The right time to start preparing for GRE & TOEFL is actually from the pre final year of your course. Because it helps you to practice more and do good at the time of examination. Also, most of the admission process in foreign universities will start right after the completion of your final academic year. So, you will not get time to prepare for the exam if u start late than this time.

Hello Rhea,
I think one has to do B.Sc in maths if aim is to do M.Sc in the same subject. GRE has no relevance. But I am curious that why do you want to pursue M.Sc? What is the harm in doing MA in economics? This too has same weightage.

You may face challenges in getting admission in International Universities because of your AMIE graduation degree. You can only apply in Universities in which AIE has a reciprocal arrangement of recognisation of AMIE equivalent to B.Tech. You are advised to appear for GATE and do M.Tech from top engineering colleges in India.

Hi Bhushan,
GRE requirements vary, it is mainly required to study in US. If you are planning for a Masters in US then yes you must take the GRE alongwith your TOEFL or IELTS test. Check university websites for admission requirements, it differs from campus to campus.

Hi, not compulsory for majority of the universities.

Hi Piyush,
Very frankly, 55% is not a good score for a top notch university like HEC. Please study harder and try to secure not less than 70% if you can. A first class is a minimum requirement if not 70%. A very good GRE score is required, aim for more than 310. You have to work extra hard on your tests and application since your college aggregate is poor. You have to take the TOEFL or IELTS too. Your SOP or resume and the LORs will be very crucial. Also work on developing your overall profile and be an all-rounder for top notches.
