Dear Akilan,
These exams are required, but not all. Let me explain.
(1) You only need IELTS and TOEFL if and only if the medium of instructions in your graduation is not English. Which means if you have studied from a Hindi medium or any local medium then either IELTS or TOEFL is required.
(2) GMAT is mandatory if you are looking for Masters (preferably in management or non-engineering/medical) abroad. However, GRE is for doing engineering.
PS: Marks in all these exams are based on the university criteria.
Hope this helps. -
