Bramari,

The GRE exams are conducted on a regular basis in both Computer-based and paper-based format.However, the computer-based format is more frequent and can be given every 21 days from the previous date of the attempt.Most people attempt repeatedly for a higher score.The exam can be attempted for a maximum of five times a year.Use this link to find out the nearest test center from your location based on the availability and the exam date.

Paper-based exams can be taken as often as they are conducted in the months of October, November, and February.But they are offered only in select locations such as Ahmedabad, Pilani, Coimbatore, Bangalore, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi.All test locations will not be conducting the exams on all the dates the paper-based examination are offered.

So I strongly advise you to opt for Computer-based exams and attempt it well in advance so that you can easily apply for the college of your preference.

Hello,

The computer based test is conducted throughout the year. The paper based tests are carried out in places where computer based format is not available. The paper based test is conducted up to three times in a year in the months of October, November and February. Computer-based test: Can be taken only once after 21 days from the day of exam in every year. Maximum of 5 times a year. (Applies even if candidate cancels scores on a test taken previously.)
