I'm guessing that "BE" means BS in Engineering? If so, what field of Engineering? What were your specialties? What kinds of jobs are you looking at applying for that you would like to take some tests to show your level of expertise?

Or are you intending on applying for graduate school in the US? If so, then the GRE would seem to apply, no?
