Hi, perhaps you should first decide what to study, which stream should you choose depends entirely on your interest and career goals. Know what is best for you. As for GRE prep, it takes around 3-4 months. You can first take a mock test and see where you stand, accordingly make the study plan and stick to it. There will be certain sections which will need more preparation than the others. Keep taking regular mock test to check your progress and scores.

Hello Rakesh,
I did not understand your question, universities won't give you GRE or TOEFL preparation and how good you perform in your GRE or TOEFL won't depend on the university.

Hi Ashwin,
Where are you planning to study? You must first check the requirements. Maybe the country or university don't even require GRE scores.

Hello Rahul,
In your first year, you would be studying the basics of physics, chemistry, maths and the other subjects related to your branch.
So you would not be able to prepare for GRE as the questions are highly technical and related to your branch.
It will be ideal to prepare for GRE from the second year.

Hi Harika, 290 is an average GRE score, you may or may not get into a top ranked university and this will depend on your overall profile. Also your IELTS is low. 6.5 band is required generally. You must have completed your Bachelors with good grades too. Your SOP and LORs will also be counted. If the application package is strong then you have a chance.

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.
