What is GRE

GRE (Graduate Record Examination) is a standardized test required for admission to many graduate and business programs worldwide. It measures a candidate’s readiness for advanced academic study by evaluating analytical writing, verbal reasoning, and quantitative reasoning skills.

GRE scores are widely accepted by universities and business schools for master’s and doctoral programs, especially in the United States, Canada, and other study-abroad destinations.

Why GRE

The GRE focuses on skills that are important for success in graduate school, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical reasoning. A good GRE score strengthens your university application and helps institutions assess your academic potential.

Which GRE to Take

• GRE General Test – required for most graduate and business programs
• GRE Subject Test – required for specific fields like Mathematics, Physics, or Psychology (only for select universities)

Most applicants take the GRE General Test. Subject Tests are needed only if your chosen university or program specifically asks for them.

GRE Format

The GRE General Test includes Analytical Writing, Verbal Reasoning, and Quantitative Reasoning sections. The total test duration is approximately 3 hours.

GRE scores are valid for 5 years. The test can be taken at a test centre or from home, depending on availability in your region.
