GRE Scores

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.

As per my knowledge, GRE is not required to get admission in Australian Universities. However, IELTS or TOEFL percentage is required.
1. IELTS: Minimum of 6 in each section and overall of 6.5 band.
2. TOEFL: Minimum of 23 in each section.
3. GMAT is required by some universities for the MBA program.
Although, I would suggest you to check the requirements of the university in which you are interested.

Hi Janu,
A good GRE score would be around 310 and TOEFL 100+ depending on your profile and test score. The cost can vary depending on the college and location, but at an average it may cost you around Rs.9 lakhs to Rs.15 lakhs including living expenses.

Yes, you can. Apply online or get assistance from a study abroad consultant.

If you want to pursue UG course, then you need not take GRE exam. You only need to take IELTS exam.
