GRE Scores

Hi Hrishikesh,
Exam preparation and strategy are specific to an individual. What might work for me might not actually work for you. However, as a general rule start by taking a mock test before you start the preparation. You will know the areas you need to revise, weakness and strengths. Take practice tests regularly to know your standing. Your actual scores will not vary much from the scores you obtain in the practice tests so you have to prepare accordingly.

Hi,
It is mentioned on their website. You may visit the respective department's website for this information or check the FAQ section which states: Applicants must score 158 or above in the Quantitative area; the Analytical area must be 29, and the Verbal area must be above 15.

Hi Susheel,
Can you please mention the program for a better answer? Are you looking for MBA?

GRE is not required if not mentioned by the university. It is mainly required in US. If you have good academic performance, you need not take GRE even if you are applying to a top university in Australia.

Yes, there is some hope. Some of my friends are there with lots of backlog and year drops and they have GRE score nearing 300. It depends on your SOP, LOR and GRE marks.

Any good university prefers candidates with score of 300 and above. You can check different university websites for specific information. VLSI is a specialization in EE normally, some known universities for this area are:
1. University of Southern California.
2. Carnegie Mellon.
3. Boston University.
4. Illinois Institute of Technology.

Hi Damana,
You can apply, but your scores are not too fit for a top ranked university. However, you should keep in mind that universities in US consider the overall profile, so if you have a very good academic record, extra-curricular activities, work experience and any other value addition, you may get through.

Hi Lohit,
The eligibility criteria differs from campus to campus. A GRE score of 310 and above is generally required for consideration into the highly ranked universities. Can you be more specific with the country of your choice?

No. GRE is one of the scores accepted to get admission in IFMR. Other than this CAT, XAT and CMAT are also accepted

Hi, your grades are too low for both the countries. You may still find very little options in Canada but Germany is a tough call. You can look for suitable options in Australia or even New Zealand. These countries too have a great demand for graduate mechanical engineers.
