Do I need to take the IELTS or GRE exams for my application for a Master's?

It depends on the university and program. For U.S. master's applications in September 2027:

- GRE: Many universities have made the GRE optional or do not require it for some programs.
- IELTS: Most universities require IELTS (or another English test) unless your prior education was entirely in English. As an Indian student, you’ll likely need to submit IELTS scores unless you qualify for a waiver.

Requirements vary by university and program.
