GRE

GRE stands for Graduate Record Examination and is administered worldwide by the American company Education Testing Services (ETS). A standardized test, the Graduate Record Examination measures Verbal, Mathematical & Analytical (Analytical Writing and Critical Thinking) skills. The test intends to primarily aid Graduate Schools (of all fields other than business) to assess the potential of the applicants for advanced study. Most universities in the US/Canada, while inviting applications from prospective students, ask for GRE® scores. . There are some universities in India which accept GRE for MBA as well. Also ISB, Hyderabad also started accepting GRE for their flagship program.

The examination is entirely a Computer-based Test, and no two students get an identical set of questions. The test is scored on a maximum of 340. The GRE® Score alone cannot guarantee admission into a school – the test is only one of the major factors taken into consideration in the long process of an applicant getting admitted into a graduate school he/she desires.
