is for admission to management or business school while the GRE or
Graduate Record Exam is for graduate school. In other means, GRE is for
general graduate school other than business school.

program in business school also accepts GRE score for admission though
all of them also accept GMAT scores. If you take either of them, you do
not need to take another one. However, if you find GRE is more easy for
you, you can take it as a replace.
