    GRE Exam Dates 2025 in India: Schedule General & Subject Test

    Did you know that the top global universities consider the GRE to be a predictor of academic success? Students who score well on the GRE are likely to earn a GPA average of 4.0.

    Taken by approximately 70,000 Indian students every year, the GRE is one of the most competitive standardized exams.

    The most common question that students wrestle with while preparing for the GRE is, “What is the best time to take the GRE exam?”

    While there is no perfect answer, there are some things and facts about GRE test dates in 2025 in India that you should know about.

    So, what are you waiting for? Here is how you can choose your GRE test date and walk into your GRE test center feeling confident!

    Key Highlights of the Blog:

    • Students can schedule a new GRE test date once every 21 days and take the GRE exam up to five times in 1 year.
    • Applicants are advised to register for their GRE test dates at least 2-3 weeks before their application deadlines.
    • The next available GRE General Test dates for March 2025 are 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 17, 18, 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 30.
    • For the GRE Subject Test, the upcoming test dates are from 21 April 2025 to 4 May 2025.

    When to Take the GRE Exam?

    The GRE exam should be taken at least 3 months before your application deadline.

    For example, if your application deadline is in December, you should take the GRE by September.

    If you’re a college student, consider taking the GRE during the spring semester of your junior year or the fall semester of your senior year. At this point, you’ll have completed most of your undergraduate coursework, and the knowledge you’ve gained will be fresh in your mind. Additionally, taking the GRE before your senior year allows you to retake it if you’re not satisfied with your scores, without the added pressure of impending graduation. 

    Working professionals should aim to take the GRE when they can dedicate enough time to prepare for the exam without compromising their work commitments. You may consider taking the GRE during a less busy period at work or using vacation time to focus on your studies. It’s also important to factor in the specific deadlines of the programs you’re applying to. Some programs have rolling admissions, while others have strict deadlines. Make sure you give yourself enough time to take the GRE, receive your scores, and complete your applications well in advance of the deadlines.
