Answer
Hi, Shikha.

The GRE math score is low for an engineering program. They probably want more like 650 as a minimum.  The Verbal score would be ok at about 450.

If you want to get a better idea of what each school is looking for, you can contact them directly.  If you think it is possible to increase your GRE scores, it would probably be good to take it again.

I am not familiar with these engineering programs so unfortunately I can't advise you on what schools to go to.

You can see my site for more info on GRE.

Regards,

Jay Cutts
