GRE and IELTS serve different purposes. IELTS (and TOEFL) is required to demonstrate English proficiency. GRE is a standardized test which is required if you are applying for admission to reputable universities like USC. So, you need to take GRE and anyone of TOEFL and IELTS.

Hi Srujan,
It is a well-known fact that you must take the GRE to pursue MS in USA. IELTS is an English language test and not given in lieu of GRE. You must either take IELTS or TOEFL along with the GRE. Since you have also decided which university you want to apply to it will be wise if you check the website directly for specific requirements.
