Hi Naveen,

You must Give both the exams Gre and Toefl to do MS and TOEFL isn't required if you're the US Citizen and there are only a few colleges accept either Gre or Toefl.

There is as such no eligibility criteria for TOFEL exam.

Eligibility criteria varies as per the university you wish to apply for. So, you have to check the eligibility criteria of the university in which you want to apply for.

Hi there!

The TOEFL Test has 4 sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. During the test, you'll perform tasks that combine these 4 English communication skills, such as:

• read, listen and then speak in response to a question
• listen and then speak in response to a question
• read, listen and then write in response to a question

The total test takes about 3 hours to complete, but you should plan for 3½ hours, allowing 30 minutes for check in.

Thankyou
