Hello, here I am providing you the details of the benefits of the GRE exam for the admission as under:

About GRE:
The GRE® revised General Test is available at more than 850 test centers in more than 160 countries. It is offered as a computer-delivered test year round at most locations around the world and as a paper-delivered test up to three times a year in areas where computer-delivered testing is not available.

Benefits of GRE:
In some cases, the GRE may be a general requirement for graduate admissions imposed by the university, while particular departments may not consider the scores at all.
The best way to find out how a particular school or program evaluates a GRE score in the admissions process is to contact the person in charge of graduate admissions for the specific program in question (and not the graduate school in general).

The weight of your GRE scores in graduate admissions varies by program.
Some graduate schools use the GRE as a cutoff while others consider it to offset a low GPA.

Additionally, different sections of the GRE could be weighted differently. For example, if you are applying to a math or statistics program, the graduate program will probably place more importance on how you performed on the Quantitative Section than on Verbal and Analytical sections. Similarly, if you are applying to an English graduate program, your Verbal and Analytical Writing scores will most likely be more important.

Some schools use the GRE in admission decisions, but not in funding decisions; others use the GRE for the selection of scholarship and fellowship candidates, but not for admissions.

However, the writing scores of foreign students are sometimes given more scrutiny and are used as an indicator of overall comfort with mastery of conversational English.
