The exam which you should be aiming at is the GRE because with this exam
1. you will get good universities
1. you will get certain percent of scholarship because of which the monetary burden will also reduce.

Now let us discuss about the exam.
There is no specific eligibility criterion for GRE. However, various universities that accept GRE scores have their own criteria of admission.

The exam pattern for that is-
1) Analytical Writing(One section with two separately timed tasks)

Task 1 - Analyse an Issue- 30 mins
Task 2 - Analyse an Argument task- 30 mins

2) Verbal Reasoning (Two sections)

20 questions per section- 30 mins each

3) Unscored -
This section will not be declared explicitly and can appear in any order after Analytical Writing section. Questions in this section are being tried out either for possible use in future tests or to ensure that scores on new editions of the test are comparable to scores from earlier editions.

4) Research-
This section will be declared explicitly and, if included, will appear at the end of the test instead of the Unscored section. Questions in this section are included for ETS research purposes.

Apart from GRE also, you can take direct admissions in some of the universities but then its always better if you have given GRE as it will help you with your scholarships and also will increase your options.
