Typical intakes in USA
Aug, Jan
Entry requirements
Typically for US universities in this band, a four-year bachelor's degree with a GPA around 3.0/4.0 — usually a solid first class in Indian marks, though the conversion varies by evaluator and by university; IELTS 6.5 overall or TOEFL 79-90, set department by department. The GRE is optional at a growing number of programmes but still required by some, so check your specific programmes before you plan test dates. A three-year Indian bachelor's is often not sufficient on its own here — some programmes will consider it alongside a course-by-course WES evaluation, a PG diploma or a completed master's, but many still insist on four years, so confirm this before you pay an application fee. This is general guidance for the destination rather than this university's published rule; your Vibedu counsellor confirms the exact requirement for your shortlist, free.
