Hello Saran.

The minimum cut off score varies from colleges to colleges. Some colleges take minimum scores and some colleges take high ones. But in average you should atleast score 320 or more in GRE to be in the safe zone, and 161 or more in the quantitative section. Average score in TOEFL should be 90 or more, but some colleges demand lower or higher scores. Along with marks scored, your GPA, Work experience and other achievements add up the chances too.

Goodluck!

Hope this helps :)
