GRE General Test:

It contains three sections - the Verbal Reasoning Section, the Quantitative Reasoning Section, and the Analytical Writing Section. It measures the skills that have been developed over a long period of time and are not related to a specific field of study but are important for all. A score on the GRE General Test is required by almost all universities in the US and other countries for Masters courses.

 

If you apply to a graduate school with a weak undergrad GPA or little work experience, a high GRE General Test score may still allow them to be accepted. Ultimately, your GRE General Test score is the most measurable way to make your grad school application competitive.

 

GRE Subject Tests

You can take a GRE Subject Test to highlight your strengths in a specific subject area, such as Biology, Math, or English. In rare instances, a graduate program will actually require a GRE Subject test score. When a GRE Subject Test is required, it’s usually required by a grad program at a top university.

 

Feel free to ask if you have any more queries. All the best!!

Hello Viral, For an MBA or MIM program, the GMAT is generally more preferred by colleges/universities over the GRE as the GMAT is specifically for Management related postgraduate programs.An English language proficiency exam is also requried i.e. either the TOEFL or IELTS.As far as the admission criteria for MBA and MIM programs goes, applicants are generally not required to submit any GRE subject test scores. But, in order to further boost your application, a GRE Subject test in Mathmatics will probably earn you some extra points from during consideration by the admission committee. For more information about the GMAT, visit: https://bschool.careers360.com/exams/gmatFor more information about the IELTS exam, visit: https://studyabroad.careers360.com/exams/ielts
