For GRE General Test, the score of Quantitative Reasoning and Verbal Reasoning contributes towards the overall score of GRE. Both these sections receive a raw score based on the number of questions in these sections. GRE raw score is then converted to scaled score on a scale of 130-170.

Check: GRE To GMAT Score Conversion

A trained rater first examines GRE Analytical writing assessment on a six-point scale. Next, the essay is assessed by an e-rater® - it is exclusively designed by ETS. In case, GRE AWA scores given by both human rater and the e-rater are close or similar, the average score of both is given as the final GRE AWA score. If the scores have a huge difference, a second human grader checks the essay.

Check: Good GRE Score

I am an IIT Bhubaneswar 3rd year student looking for a classroom coaching centre for the GRE in Bhubaneswar. Which one is the best to join?

There are a few institutes that offer classroom coaching for GRE preparation in Bhubaneswar. Given below are information about a few such institutes:

Offshore Education Academy

This institute is a one-stop point for good counseling and preparation of GRE exams in Bhubaneswar. Merit scholarships are given to students who perform well in the online admission test. The minimum time to be devoted will be 4 months although it can be extended to 5 months in case an individual wants more time to prepare.

Prajna Prep

Prajna Prep offers comprehensive class sessions on Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Analytical Writing. You can also take GRE Practice Tests to improve your preparation.

Manya-The Princeton Review

Manya-The Princeton Review is another excellent choice for GRE preparation. This institute offers different types of GRE courses and you can choose the one which suits you best. There is also an option for learning in groups or in one on one sessions.

Besides classroom coaching, self-preparation is also a good option if your current academics are above average.

Which exam to opt for admission in ISB hyderabad, GMAT or GRE?

Dhwani

30 Jan23

Of the two entrance exams, GMAT and GRE, the former is a better option. ISB Hyderabad has recently started accepting GRE scores. This doesn’t mean that taking the GRE is a bad idea. Many business schools apart from ISB are now accepting GRE scores. The best part is that ISB won’t be converting your GRE scores to GMAT for comparison during the MBA admissions.

GRE is suitable for students who are considering other PG options apart from MBA like MS or MA.
For someone who is sure of their career in an MBA, the GMAT is a better choice because GRE is much more dynamic. GMAT shows your commitment to MBA and thereby increases your chances of admission in comparison to GRE which shows that you are open to various options.
ISB Hyderabad prefers GMAT over GRE also because the former is a more quantitatively challenging exam than the latter.
Certain firms may ask for your GMAT score before shortlisting you for your interview. These include the biggest firms in the corporate world like McKinsey

So from these points, we can safely conclude that GMAT is a better option for MBA students provided that you are sure of your course.

What is the percentile required to get into ISB Hyderabad?

Akanksha Sharma

30 Jan23

In case you are enquiring about the CAT percentile let me clarify that ISB Hyderabad does not take into consideration CAT scores. It accepts GMAT/GRE scores only. Most importantly, the ISB Shortlisting process is profile-based. This means even with a lower percentile you can manage to get shortlisted provided you have an excellent profile.

There is no fixed cutoff for GMAT. However, a 700+ GMAT score isn't a must-have for ISB if your application is strong in other areas. According to an ISB spokesperson, candidates were admitted to the 2021 cohort with scores as low as 580, and as high as 780. So the GMAT score range for ISB is 580-780.

What sort of a GRE score would warrant a call-up from IIM Ahmedabad?

Firstly, GRE scores are not accepted for the PGP MBA program. Only CAT/GMAT scores are accepted. To apply through the GMAT route you need sufficient work experience in a foreign country.

For the FPM program, like any other doctoral program, the quality of the application matters the most and there is no cut-off for the GRE scores. Other factors that are actually considered are

There is no specific GRE score that would guarantee a call-up from IIM Ahmedabad.
