Suitable Profile for a Grad Student

As already noticed, GRE scores are not mandatory for all the fields of study in the European Universities. European universities without GRE score generally focus more on the CGPA, academic transcripts, and interviews too. The following list of requirements will be helpful for the candidates to know about:

1. UG Degree: An undergraduate degree from a recognized institute with a high CGPA is a prerequisite;
2. Standardized Test Results like TOEFL, IELTS, and GMAT (for business schools) are necessary to be submitted with proper marks;
3. Research experience is a factor that is not mentioned in many requirements but can instantly boost your application. A summer internship from renowned labs or research published in a journal are few ways;
4. Resume, letter of recommendations and statement of purposes are three very crucial documents studying which the university will assess the candidate.
