Total: <strong>54 questions plus 1 AWA essay task.<\/strong> No breaks. No negative marking. AWA is always first; Verbal and Quant appear in any order after.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">What is a good GRE score for MS in the USA?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">A total score of <strong>315 and above<\/strong> is competitive for most top-50 US universities. For elite programs at MIT, Stanford, and CMU, aim for <strong>325+.<\/strong> For STEM programs, a <strong>Quant score of 160+<\/strong> is a strong differentiator \u2014 even if your Verbal is 155. A score of 305\u2013314 is good for most top-100 programs. IMFS counsellors will advise the right target based on your specific shortlist.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">How many times can I take the GRE?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">You can take the GRE General Test up to <strong>5 times in any 12-month rolling period<\/strong>, with a mandatory <strong>21-day gap<\/strong> between attempts. Most students who score below their target improve by 10\u201320 points on a second attempt with focused coaching. Universities see all scores unless you use ETS ScoreSelect to choose which to send.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">How long is a GRE score valid?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">GRE scores are valid for <strong>5 years<\/strong> from the test date. You can use the same score across multiple admission cycles within this window \u2014 giving you flexibility if you choose to delay your application or apply to additional programs.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Is the GRE still required in 2026?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">It depends on the university and program. Some US programs (MIT, UIUC CS) have made GRE optional. However, CMU, Harvard, Georgia Tech, and most top non-US universities in Germany (RWTH Aachen, TU Munich), Singapore (NUS, NTU), and UK (LBS, LSE) still require it. Even at GRE-optional schools, a <strong>strong score (315+) can significantly strengthen your application<\/strong> and improve scholarship eligibility. IMFS counsellors will advise based on your specific shortlist.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">What does IMFS GRE coaching include?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">IMFS GRE coaching includes: a free diagnostic mock test at enrolment, personalised study plan, classroom coaching in weekday and weekend batches, exclusive <strong>IMFS InWords vocabulary app<\/strong>, physical and digital GRE study material by Prof. K.P. Singh via the IMFS Learning Portal, full-length mock tests with performance analysis, weekly AWA essay reviews, and integrated university counselling. Available at all 13 IMFS branches.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Should I take GRE or GMAT for an MBA abroad?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">Both are accepted at most top MBA programs globally \u2014 Harvard, Wharton, LBS, INSEAD, ISB. For <strong>MS programs<\/strong> in CS, Engineering, or Data Science, GRE is almost always the right choice. For MBA, GMAT tends to be preferred at the most competitive programs. IMFS counsellors will recommend the right exam based on your target schools and academic profile. Read our <a href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/gmat-vs-gre-for-mba-abroad\/\">GMAT vs GRE guide \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Can I take the GRE from home in 2026?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">Yes. The GRE at-home option has the same format, scoring, and difficulty as the test centre. From <strong>January 5, 2026<\/strong>, ETS requires a second camera to monitor your testing environment. Strict proctoring rules apply. Most IMFS students prefer the test centre environment for fewer distractions and better focus.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<div class=\"section-divider\"><\/div>\n\n<!-- ============================================================\n INTERNAL LINKS\n================================================================ -->\n<section class=\"section\">\n <div class=\"container\">\n <h2>Explore More from IMFS<\/h2>\n\n <div class=\"resource-section\" style=\"margin-top:24px;\">\n <h3>\ud83d\udcdd Other Exam Coaching at IMFS<\/h3>\n <div class=\"related-links\">\n <a class=\"related-link related-link--exam\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/ielts-prep\/\">\ud83d\udcdd IELTS Coaching<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link related-link--exam\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/toefl-prep\/\">\ud83d\udcdd TOEFL Coaching<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link related-link--exam\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/gmat-prep\/\">\ud83d\udcdd GMAT Coaching<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link related-link--exam\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/sat-prep\/\">\ud83d\udcdd SAT Coaching<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"resource-section\">\n <h3>\ud83c\udf93 Study Destination Guides<\/h3>\n <div class=\"related-links\">\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/study-in-usa\/\">\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 Study in USA \u2014 Complete Guide<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/study-in-germany\/\">\ud83c\udde9\ud83c\uddea Study in Germany \u2014 Complete Guide<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/study-in-uk\/\">\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 Study in UK<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/study-in-canada\/\">\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6 Study in Canada<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/study-in-australia\/\">\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa Study in Australia<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"resource-section\">\n <h3>\ud83d\udcda GRE Related Reads<\/h3>\n <div class=\"related-links\">\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/gre-retake-or-apply-now-the-2026-ms-admissions-playbook\/\">\ud83d\udd01 GRE Retake or Apply Now? 2026 Playbook<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/gmat-vs-gre-for-mba-abroad\/\">\u2696\ufe0f GMAT vs GRE \u2014 Which to Take?<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/guide-are-standardized-tests-like-sat-gre-still-important\/\">\ud83d\udcca Are Standardised Tests Still Important?<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/best-stem-universities-in-the-usa\/\">\ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f Best STEM Universities in the USA<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/best-stem-universities-in-germany-for-international-students\/\">\ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f Best STEM Universities in Germany<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/ms-in-business-analytics-for-non-engineers-complete-career-guide\/\">\ud83d\udcc8 MS Business Analytics \u2014 Career Guide<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/how-a-masters-abroad-in-2025-can-skyrocket-your-career-opportunities\/\">\ud83d\ude80 How a Masters Abroad Skyrockets Your Career<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/masters-abroad-roi-the-true-value-for-indian-students\/\">\ud83d\udcb0 Masters Abroad ROI for Indian Students<\/a>\n <a class=\"related-link\" href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/low-gpa-how-to-secure-admission-to-elite-ms-in-ai-programs\/\">\ud83c\udfaf Low GPA?
