What It Is
International standard for graduate multi-discipline admissions.
Ideal Candidates
Students planning an MS, Ph.D. or even some MBA programs abroad.
Core Advantage
Extremely versatile—one score for thousands of different majors.
Pivot Guideline
"GATE if you are committed to the Indian PSU or IIT research system."
"GRE is a test of vocabulary and structural logic. For quantitative, it requires speed and avoidance of "traps" rather than complex math."
If you are only applying to Indian universities that don't explicitly accept GRE.
Myth
"It's all about memorizing words."
Reality
It's about "logical usage" of words in complex sentence structures.
Myth
"Math is too easy."
Reality
It looks easy but has many worded traps that catch fast test-takers.
