Hi, As per your your query it seems that you wish to pursue masters degree from universities in US. So for your reference find below the eligibility criteria or the same: - Undergraduate degree in same or relevant discipline (60%-70% plus in degree) - High score in GRE. - High scores in IELTS or TOEFL. Preferred GRE score- 300 plus. Preferred TOEFL score- 90 plus. Preferred IELTS score- 6.5 bands plus. Please note that the eligibility criteria for admission may differ from university to university. So as per your query I would suggest you to: - First decide which course you wish to pursue. - Once the course is decided then you need to shortlist the universities offering course of you interest. - Once universities are shortlisted then you need to check the eligibility criteria and if you meet the eligibility criteria you may then apply accordingly. - Finally you need to decide in which intake i.e (fall or spring) you wish to take admission. Please remember application deadlines in American universities for international students are set by the department delivering each program, and these deadlines may be as early as 12 months before the program begins. So, in order to know the exact application deadline it would be always advisable to browse through the university's website you wish to apply. Overall,universities in US have 2 admission intake in a year namely: - Fall(September) intake. - Spring(January) intake. So it would be always advisable to take GRE and TOEFL or IELTS tests atleast 4-5 months in advance of your planned admission intake. In most of the universities the deadline for fall intake is July and for spring intake it is November. Feel free to raise more questions. Appreciate by giving it thumbs up or marking as best. All the Best.

Hi Hardik, Firstly, if you are looking at undergraduate program (B.Tech, Bachelor of Business etc.) then you do not need a GRE. As mentioned by Manmeet, you will need SAT, IELTS or TOEFL and good academic percentage in class 12. If your query is related to post graduation - MS degree, then yes most US universities will require a GRE score of 290 and above with top universities requiring 310 - 320 and above. So depending on what your exact query is: UG or PG; Specialisation that you are interested in, your academic profile - we can guide you further. In general, irrespective of the program level: Most US universities employ admission weightage across multiple parameters such as Academic track record, percentage Scores in Entrance tests (SAT, TOEFL, IELTS, GRE or GMAT) Co-curricular achievements (Paper publication, poster presentation, additional courses done in a relevant area) Extracurricular activities such as social service are given importance when awarding scholarships / financial aid Strong Essays and letters of recommendation and Experience if the program requires it. So it is the overall candidature assessment that determines your fit to the university and program. Hope this helps. Regards Nithya
