Equivalent in what sense? Do you mean in the sense of SAT vs. ACT for undergrad entrance exams? Other graduate entrance exams that are accepted by graduate admissions committees? Equivalent foreign entrance exams? What is your purpose?

"Foreign universities" is a very broad category. Which countries? Which universities? Once you have decided on a list of candidate schools, you should contact their admissions offices directly for their requirements.
