GRE

Dear Ananya,
Yes ofcourse, GMAT or GRE is necessary. You must also gain substantial years of work experience, around 2-3 years. There is no particular work experience but whatever you do must be relevant to your educational background and future goals. Most importantly you must demonstrate excellent leadership skills, managerial skills, team spirit, etc. through your work experience. You should visit the business school's website and go through the student profiles and the diverse backgrounds they come from. It is good that you are questioning and trying to build your profile from early on.

Hi Jigyasa, To study MBA, most universities abroad requires applicants to hold work experience of 2-3 years. Without work experience, it will be difficult. Nevertheless, try applying. A GRE score of 315 and above is recommended. If you study Law then most universities again will not admit you to a PG in law but first you must complete LLB, even if you hold a BA degree. The ISAT is scored on a scale of 120-180, a good score is around 150+.

It depends upon them that how they calculate it. So it'd be better if you ask the college directly. In general, backlogs are counted subject wise. But the plus point is your 3+ year of work experience. You still have the good chance to ensure your selection in your desired college.

Hi Akanshya, you will get options but not the highly ranked ones which prefer students with extremely good academics. However plenty of options will be available. Focus on your GRE, anything below 300 will hamper your chances. Additionally you should work on building a very good personal statement. The recommendation letters must be compelling too. Demonstrate your strengths, extracurricular activities, project work etc. and any other distinct point that you think the universities should know about you.

GRE scores are valid for 5 years, so you can take it anytime during this period. A good time to take GER for September 2018 intake would be a little before September 2017. Maybe in the months between April and August 2017. The application process generally takes around a year.
