Standardized tests are one part of your application that requires minimum legwork but maximum brainwork.  Your performance on a standardized test will be one of the most important aspects of your application process. 

Each country has a different system of education. How would the University determine the eligibility for admissions of an Indian student or a student from China or Japan or South Africa for that matter?  The best method is to ask students to take a standardized test that is common to all applicants.  By taking a standardized test, the admissions committee is able to gauge the aptitude of a student for a particular academic program.  

Generally there are differences in the evaluation systems across the globe. In India for example educational institutions award a percentage, which determines your academic performance.  In the United States students are awarded a Grade Point Average or a GPA based on a four-point scale system.   

All students prepare for common standardized tests and the results obtained are then easily comparable and enable the admission committee to make a unbiased and objective decision on your application file.  Hence to apply to an institution overseas you are required to take the standardized test as a part of the application requirements.
