Hello Varun!

For GRE:
The ideal duration to prepare for GRE is anywhere between 6 to 2 months. It depends entirely on how much you're able to grasp in a given time period.
Start with a mock test to understand where you stand currently. Identify your weak areas and work on them. Do not neglect any of the sections (Verbal, Quant or AWA).
You can use GregMat 2 month plan and then continue with self-study if you have the time for it.
For vocabulary building, use Magoosh GRE Vocab app.

For IELTS:
Try appearing for your GRE at least 9 days before you take your IELTS. Once you've given the GRE, IELTS should not be as difficult. The only things that will require practice will be Speaking and Listening. They can be practiced in a week or so.
You can use official Cambridge Practice tests to help you with your prep.

Good luck!
