GRE Score Sending Fee

Students often ask about the cost of sending GRE scores. On the test day, you can select 4 institutions to receive your GRE scores, and this is included in the GRE test fee. If you want to send scores to more than 4 universities, each additional score report costs ₹2,900.

Canceling GRE score

If you are not satisfied with your unofficial GRE scores, you can choose not to accept them. In this case:

• The scores will not appear in your report history.
• They will not be available for online review.
• They will not be sent to any universities.
• The test fee is non-refundable.

However, if you change your mind, you can reinstate your scores by applying within 60 days of the test date and paying a fee of ₹5,000. Always send GRE scores that reflect your best performance.

Validity of GRE Scores

GRE scores are valid for 5 years from the test date. For example, a test taken on September 30, 2026, can be reported until August 1, 2031.

Changing Name on Score Reports

ETS can process a name change request upon submission of valid documents for the same by the candidates. Candidates willing to send scores with their name changed can contact the GRE assistance and report the same with valid documents. The same will be reflected in their GRE score reports and other records associated with GRE after further consideration.

ETS allows candidates to report their scores to 4 different universities for free on the test day. After receiving your result, you can select to send GRE scores to universities except the first 4 free institutions. It is always suggested to send your official GRE score to universities for more preference and consideration. Always check the university's GRE score requirements before sending your score reports.
