    Hi Anurag,
    Usually, a score above 315 is a good score for the top 20. Admission requirements again vary with universities. Some universities such as MIT do not actually require a GRE score, they review applicants on the basis of GPA and extra-curricular activities. I will suggest you to check the websites of these top universities to have a detailed understanding of what they look for in a student.
    I hope this helps.

    To get into MS in Computer Engineering program offered by any top 20 US university, students should have at least in the range of 320-340. score in Gradute Record Examination. However, this is just a general guideline. Getting a high score in GRE does not gurantee you for getting admission in your desired course/university. Specific requirements can vary depending on the university and the program.

No, GRE is not mandatory for all universities. Top institutions like University of Toronto and UBC often require. Many universities like Simon Fraser University, Ryerson (TMU), and Carleton University make it optional or waive it if you have a high GPA and relevant work experience.

Candidates with a valid score of CAT/ GMAT/ GRE score are exempted from the written test. These candidates still need to complete the form by paying the application fees. However, these aspirants may get called for the IIM Trichy - Chennai campus PGPBM interview round.

No, students don't need to submit either a GRE or GMAT score for most GSU courses. Business programs offered by the Robinson College of Business, have waived off the test score requirement for most courses.

However, students applying for studies at the Georgia State College of Law, may have to submit a valid GRE or LSAT score for courses like JD.

Students still can submit a valid score in either test. This can certainly have positive effect on the overall application.
