GRE Papers

The Educational Testing Services (ETS), United States of America, conducts the standardized examination GRE (Graduate Record Examination). GRE aims at measuring the ability of a candidate which is demanded by nearly all the institutes abroad which offer admission to various streams such as Research Programs, Fellowship Programs and Graduate Studies. The representative of ETS in India holds the responsibility to conduct the exam. The institutes look for the GRE scores among various other parameters to make a student eligible for admission to various courses except Management. For admission to Management stream the exam is GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test).

It is not necessary that having a high score in GRE alone guarantees a candidate in some Graduate School or University abroad but obviously this test forms the first major step towards getting admission to any foreign university or Graduate School of one’s choice.

The Educational Testing Services, United States administers the test in two sets all over the globe. The two sets are GRE General Tests and GRE Subject Tests.

The first test i.e. the GRE General Test is aimed to measure quantitative reasoning, analytical writing, critical thinking and verbal reasoning skills of the candidate. These skills do not belong to any particular field of study and are actually the skills acquired by the candidate over a long period.

The GRE Subject Tests are in eight specific subjects and test the undergraduate achievements.
A candidate can sit for either of the two tests mentioned above or for both. It depends on the desired course and the university requirements.
