Anyone can take the GRE irrespective of education background. But you need to be a graduate before
starting your Master’s or PhD program.

It is one of the most important criteria that the admissions committee looks at. A good GRE score will
significantly boost your chances of getting a top admit.

GRE can be taken an unlimited number of times with a gap of minimum 21 days between two attempts. In
a calendar year, you cannot take the GRE more than 5 times.

GRE scores are valid for 5 years.

You will be able to see your Quant and Verbal score immediately after the completion of the exam.
However, the official score report along with the AWA score will be available after 8-10 days.

Almost all universities will consider the best score. You can choose which score to be sent to the
universities.

Although some universities have made GRE optional, it is highly recommended to apply with your GRE
score as it will enhance your chances of getting a scholarship.

GRE is held on working days (Monday to Friday). The test schedule is available on www.ets.org

You can register online or by phone or email. The detailed information about the registration process is
available on www.ets.org

The GRE test registration fee is USD 220. After the test, you are asked to submit the names of 4 colleges
where you would like to send your scores. This facility is free.

Although many universities had waived off the GRE due to logistical challenges during the pandemic,
GRE scores are still considered vital for the MS admission process. A student with a GRE score will always
be preferred.

If the test date is cancelled 4 days before the actual test, you will get 50% refund of the registration fee.
Beyond that, no more refund will be possible.
