What is the GRE Exam Eligibility or Can Anyone Take GRE?

We often get lots of questions from students about GRE Exam Eligibility. These questions are as follows:

I’m a 3rd year student studying computer science, am I eligible to take a GRE exam?

I’m studying BSC in India. I heard that US universities only accept 4 year degrees. Do you think I’m eligible to take GRE exam?

GRE Exam Eligibility Criteria

Actually there is no eligibility criteria to take the GRE Exam. You only need to have the specified identification requirements to take the GRE Exam.

In most cases you will required to bring your passport and another form of photo ID to register for a GRE.

Then you have to pay the fees, register for the GRE test.

Make sure that the name you’ll use to register for the test is the same as the name in your passport or other primary documents [usually your passport is needed when taking a GRE in India].

At a testing center, you can only correct the spelling but not the entire name.

You can also check the Educational Testing Service (ETS) website for more details. So now it’s clear that there are no other eligibility criteria that will prevent you from taking a GRE test.

Some students register for GRE test even before getting their passports. If the name in your passport is different from the name you registered with for the test, then you cannot take the GRE test.

Make sure you have a passport to register for GRE Exam.

More than eligibility, you need to be prepared for the test. It’s not worth wasting $175 to take a GRE test when you are not prepared for the test at all.

Understand your skills with a test prep, then estimate how long you will need to prepare for the GRE. Then plan to register for the test based on your study plan.

A good study plan is required to ace the GRE Test. Without a good study plan, it’s tough to crack the GRE test.

Don’t expect any miracles on the test day when you only made little preparation for it.
