GRE Test Centres in India

The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) is an aptitude test which is designed to assess the potential of a bachelor's degree student to succeed at the graduate level in the U.S. It is mainly of two types: computer based or a paper based test. While the former is usually the General GRE exam, the latter is a Subject based GRE exam. This exam is strongly recommended for all international applicants who aspire for higher education in countries such as USA and Canada. But today, there are many other institutes in Germany and UK who consider these subject GRE scores. Now, unlike most other competitive examinations, you have the choice of selecting a location, date and time for taking the GRE Test.

GRE Test Centre
Before you browse through the various test centres and decide which one suits you the best, go through the items that you need to carry with you on the main day: an ID document which states your name, signature and photograph, a list of names of the schools where you would like to send your scores and the authorization voucher, if applicable. In addition to the above, carry three or four sharpened soft-lead (No. 2 or HB) pencils and a good eraser for a paper based GRE test. Remember that pencils and erasers will not be supplied at the test centre and the use of mechanical pencils and pens are not permitted.
