Hello Rahul,
It is difficult to answer since this depends on the university. There are so many in Australia. Your backlog is too much, I doubt if a top university like the University of Melbourne will happily accept. Keeping aside the backlogs, see that you meet the admission requirements, have the minimum academic percentage, required IELTS and so on. Apply accordingly. The entry requirements are naturally different from the universities so you have to visit the websites and start preparing accordingly.

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.

Requirement for Masters is 6.5 over all band score and each component minimum 6 band. If you have any one less than 6, you are not eligible for admission criteria. You apply to universities, some universities will give you exemption for IELTS based on your 10th and 12th English marks.

Hi Nafiya, It is a decent university and ranks below 100 in USA. You should also try to apply to some more universities probably in a better and higher position than McNeese otherwise there are many universities and colleges in India also. Because you are an international applicant I will suggest you look for more options. You can find details on McNeese here

Hello there,
You have a better chance in Australia based on the profile you gave. Visa will come later, first, you need to get acceptance from the university. So, I will first suggest you to focus on the application process and submit a competitive application including a well-written SOP and also the LOR.

With 5.5 bands in IELTS, you can't get admission in any country. You have to take at least 6.5 bands in IELTS exam to get admission in countries like Singapore, France, Canada or Australia. So you need to improve your score.

Hi Vikas,
The first thing is to research and plan where to study. Use the internet to find out about universities in different countries over the world, their fees, living expenses in different countries, eligibility criteria of the programs and the universities etc. Do remember that the eligibility is different that's why you have to check the websites very carefully. Like for example if you want to study in USA you have to take the GRE for Masters degree, but its not required for most other countries. Then, your IELTS score is little low but some universities may accept it while some won't. So first do some research yourself and afte

5.5 is generally a low IELTS score. Even for Bachelor's degree, the colleges in New Zealand require a band of 6. But the catch is that colleges have several pathway programs for international students who do not meet the admission requirements slightly or more for the English language requirements. You must also remember that you cannot secure admission only on basis of IELTS score. The main criteria is how much is your academic percentile. You did not mention it and hence difficult to overall evaluate your profile. For now, I can advise you to check the requirements on the college websites and also email them and ask about these pathw
