Hello Rupam,

Well there are individual differences and people vary in capabilities. Having said that, there is no exact time to start preparing for GRE. It varies from person to person. Since the score is valid for 5 years, some people choose to take it very early, whereas some people leave it for the end. The ideal time to take the GRE would be around 1 to 1.5 years before you intend on joining a university. To be on the safe side, you should start preparing for the exam around 3 months before you take it. If you give the GRE at an early date, you will have sufficient time to research your options and narrow down on a probable list of universities. Again, it completely depends on the person.

Hope this helps. All the best. 

Hello student,

GRE's only criteria is that you should have completed you graduation from a university recognised by UGC. As you have done this, you are eligible for sitting for GRE examination.

But know  this that the colleges won't give you preference while taking admission, as you have 3 years gap with no work experience. You need to score too high to make a chance.

Cheers!!

Dear aspirant....!!

Here we have explained the entire process of applying for an MS programme in the USA, right from the time one needs to do research till final submission of the application form. 

Read ahead to know the exact steps to apply for MS in the US:

1. Choose universities

The first step while applying for MS in the US is to make a list of universities which offer the candidate's choice of programme. This should be done around the months of May or June of the previous year. Ideally, one should start the process of admission at least 15 months prior to admission. While the US admission cycle has three intakes --Fall, Spring and Summer- a majority of the programmes start in Fall i.e., around September.

2. Check deadlines

Once the candidate has made a list of the colleges of his choice, the next step should be to check the deadlines of the specific courses the candidate is applying for. Usually, universities in the US do not have a common deadline for all courses. Therefore, it is necessary to check the individual departments of the universities to know the opening and closing dates for applications to MS in the US. Usually, applications for Fall start around September and close between December-January, though some universities accept applications till February. 

Also, the flexibility offered by the USA allows the student to apply for the course through three plans - Early admission plan, Regular admission and Rolling admission. Regular admission plan follows the same procedure of setting deadlines for admission by universities every year. On the other hand, early admission allows an aspirant to apply and fix admission before the start of the Regular admission. Rolling admission has the advantage of making application to the university of one's choice anytime of the year, provided there are vacant seats.

Hope your query is solved!

All the best!

hello aspirant,

during the time of interview or counselling if you donot have any current backlog then that will not effect to get you a good colleges. australian colleges accept upto 7 backlogs where canadian colleges allow upto 5 backlogs. however to get a decent college you need to have atleast 65% marks in your undergraduate degree course.

Hi Puneeth Royal,

Yes, You can attempt for both Gre and Gate but Don't waste your time in preparing for both exams and Just Stick to one of the exam and prepare well and if you want to do MS then give Gre exam and if you Want to do M.tech  then give Gate exam then get into top IIT's/NIT's 

I would suggest you to give the GRE exam and go for MS.

Inbox me if you have any queries regarding Study abroad.
