How important is physics GRE for applicants?

SUMMARY

Universities that require the Physics GRE (PGRE) consider it essential for a complete application. If an applicant does not submit a PGRE score when it is listed as a requirement, their application will be deemed incomplete and will not be reviewed. This underscores the importance of adhering to application requirements to ensure consideration for admission.

Hello, I would like to know whether universities that ask for a PGRE score would eliminate an application outright if I have not appeared for the exam

Usually.
 
Schools only review complete applications. If they list the PGRE as part of a 'complete application' and you have not submitted a score, you do not have a complete application and therefore it will not be looked at.
