GRE (Graduate Record Examination)


 

Yesterday I went to attend a conference organized by University of Southern California (USC), Viterbi School of Engineering at the Le Meridian Hotel, New Delhi to get some idea about what all is necessary for getting admitted to a good foreign university for Master of Sciences (M.S.).


I got many of my queries regarding admission in MS answered there. So, I thought why not share some of them with you people. Here they are…

Ques 1 : What are the cutoffs in GRE required by universities ?

Ans : There is no proper demarcation or cutoff below which they won’t give you admission, they only refer to this test to get a basic idea of your skills in quantitative analysis and vocabulary.

Ques 2 : What all do we need to submit with the application form?

Ans : You submit them all those articles which you think reflects your actual persona of being a good engineer and shows that you have some goals in your life. Basically your achievements which are related to your field or the field for which you are applying for at their university e.g. real life projects, research work, your certificates etc. BUT BEWARE: They will pass all your documents through rigorous scrutiny, so don’t put any vague information which you cannot prove. 

Ques 3 : Financial Aid or Sponsorship?

Ans : Many university don’t provide sponsorship, pupil themselves have to search for sponsors who will pay for them. Many Indian students get loans from banks for their studies and many Indian nationalized banks provide them this help at lower rates of interest too.

For reviewing fees and cost of living, surf any university’s site. They provide information for international students which will help you in calculating the required funds.
