GRE Exam Dates

The GRE is conducted at about 1000 test centers in more than 160 countries. It is offered as a computer-delivered test year-round at most locations around the world and as a paper-delivered where computer-delivered testing is not available.

In India, GRE is a computer-delivered test and it is administered on all days, throughout the year.

Be an early bird and book your slot.

 

How To Choose GRE Test Dates

But while booking the test, please keep your university deadlines in mind because these scores need to reach before or by the application deadline. After taking the test, you will have an option to accept or cancel the scores before viewing the scores. If you accept, the scores would reach the designated universities in about 10 to 15 days and then a further couple of days for the university to process them. Hence, while deciding on your test date, please keep in mind this time frame and leave enough window for the process to be completed before the deadlines.

There are no fixed dates for the GRE test as it is administered all year round.

You can register for the computer-delivered GRE either online or via phone.

You can also decide to take the GRE in the designated test centers or GRE at home.

 

When You Should Take the GRE?

Candidates are concerned as to when they should take the GRE. According to experts, the best timing to take your first GRE is 45 days before your university’s admission deadline. Candidates would have enough time to retake the GRE General test if their GRE scores did not turn out as expected.

 

Upcoming GRE Exam Dates 2023 in India

Candidates will be relieved to learn that the GRE Computer Based format is offered once a month. Every month in India, the GRE Computer Delivered Test is held on all days except weekends and public/general scheduled holidays. The GRE at Home test is offered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and appointments can be scheduled as soon as 24 hours after you register.

 

 

GRE Exam Eligibility

If you are taking the GRE exam, the first thing you should do is look out for the GRE exam eligibility criteria for admission to institutes and universities abroad. Check to see whether your dream college accepts GRE scores. After fulfilling the programs or university’s GRE exam eligibility, you should begin the GRE registration procedure to take the GRE General Test. Because the eligibility criteria of each university/institute differ, it is recommended to ask the eligibility criteria of the university to which you intend to apply.

Computer Based GRE

The majority of test takers favour this option. Except for Sundays and holidays, the service is available every day of the year. It’s up to you to choose the best GRE dates. The majority of cities only have one exam facility. Larger cities may have more, but they also have a lot more people taking the test. This limits your options because seats at your preferred test center may not be available on several GRE exam days. You’ll have to pick a date based on availability as well as your personal circumstances.

 

Paper Based GRE

In November and February of each year, it is available.

If you want to do this, pick a date and make a reservation right away.

 

Most Popular Times to Take the GRE Exam

The most popular times are late summer and fall, which correspond with the application deadlines for most graduate programs. If you want to take the GRE during this time, you should sign up for the test as soon as possible. The sooner the GRE exam date approaches the application deadline, the faster the available spaces will fill up. Remember that GMAT and medical board exam centers are generally the same as GRE test centers, and you’ll be competing with them all for a place.

 

When is the Best Time to Take the GRE?

Anyone who wishes to take the computer-based GRE test has a lot of options. It can be difficult to choose a date, so here are a few suggestions to help you limit down your options. At least two weeks before the application deadline, schedule a test. What would be the impact of the result on your other commitments? Are you in a good enough mental state to ace the exam? – If you are stressed for reasons unrelated to the exam, you should postpone it until a later date.
