IELTS Eligibility

Hi Sachin,
You can always email the colleges and ask them, the answer will depend on the college's admission policies, they may or may not accept it, they may ask you for a retake or can actually offer you an English language pathway programme. It will also depend on how good your academic record is, if you have a high percentage they may accept the IELTS score.

With that kind of score, it's very difficult. I recommend that you prepare once again and take the exam after 3-4 months. Prepare very well to improve your overall English proficiency. Aim for at least a 6.5-7.

Hi Jyoti,
IELTS has no eligibility criteria as such. Different universities have IELTS score requirements, which you must meet for admission.

6 bands is the minimum requirement. You can apply for most institutions and for majority of the courses.

Yes you are. IELTS is a test, there is no question of eligibility here. However the scores are valid for 2 years only so if your scores expire by the time you are applying to a foreign university you have to attempt the test again.

Hi Dhiraj,
Yes, you can but perhaps the universities will ask for a retake or offer you an ELICOS program. You may check with the universities directly before applying.

It's not a good option to do MBA in Canada also in finance because you are from the engineering background and it will be difficult to cope up with the subjects. Try to study here in India itself.

Hi Priyanka,
52% is quite a low score and I am not sure if you will find too many options. In addition, your IELTS score is low as well. Look for PG Diploma programmes. You can apply for the visa after being accepted by a university.

Hi Nikhil,
You have to visit university websites and research yourself for specific admission requirements. Admissions are not based on IELTS alone and if an university finds your profile strong they may accept you. Every program and University has different admission requirements. You may also be required to take a bridge course in English if the university suggests.

Dear Zaid,
MBA programs in UK and if you want a reputed one you must have atleast 3 years work exp. Check university websites like Imperial College, University of Leeds etc more or less every good business school requires experience. Your grades are aright.
