I couldn't resist posting what I know although the thread exists for a different reason, especially since there is a reference to Indian students. In my (Indian) university, every year there were atleast 5 people who used to get 2400/2400 in the (yesteryears) GRE. And a lot (really a lot) will have scores over 2250.. I would imagine scores in excess of 1500 is just normal even now.
Reason - students here don't have anything else to do except study. They are made to think if they don't emigrate they aren't fit to live. I ain't exaggerating.
