Is the GRE exam mandatory for all countries and courses, or only for specific fields like engineering and tech in UK/Netherlands for a Master's?

It depends. The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) is not mandatory for all countries or courses.
- UK: Most Master's programs do not require the GRE, except for some quantitative or research-focused fields.
- Netherlands: GRE is generally not required, but some specialized or research Master's programs may ask for it.
Some competitive fields like engineering, technology, business, or economics may require GRE scores, but this varies by university and program. Always check the specific requirements for each course you are interested in.
