Dear Jatin

What is GRE?



The full form of GRE is Graduate Record Examinations. It is a standardised test conducted by ETS (Educational Testing Services). ETS GRE scores are accepted by most of the top graduate level schools formasters degree programs(like the popular Master of Science degree  MS in USA).



Its gone through a lot of changes over the years. In its newest avatar, it is called the GRE revised General Test.





GRE Exam Eligibility



The only eligibility requirement for GRE is the document required to prove your identity. In India, youll need a valid passport. Youll have to get your original passport (not photocopies) which clearly shows your full name, photograph and signature.



No other documentation (like birth certificate, international driving license etc) can be used as an alternate identity proof. They are very strict about this.



Apart from this eligibility requirement, ETS does not set any age, qualification, timing related pre-requisites. However, there will be a range of eligibility criteria set by universities that accept GRE scores. For each of their programs, they may have minimum age, experience and qualification related filters.
