Do I have to take GRE or GMAT exams for admission, or are there fully funded scholarships available for a Master's?

It depends on the university and program. Many U.S. universities now have test-optional policies, so GRE or GMAT scores are not always required for master's admission. Some programs still require them, while others have waived them for upcoming intakes.

There are also fully funded scholarships available for international master's students, such as the Fulbright-Nehru Master's Fellowship and the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program. Scholarship requirements and availability vary by university and program - some may require standardized test scores, others may not.
