IELTS Scores

Hi Garry,
It's hard to say as it will depend on how you improved and what the selectivity criteria of the college is. 15 backlogs is a big number. Your overall application package will be checked, recommendation letters will be checked and also your SOP.

Hey Vamshi,
Did you check the university website? It strictly mentions the requirements - work experience of 2 years, GMAT and IELTS or TOEFL. IELTS is the test of English proficiency and do not showcase your aptitude for business studies at all. Please visit the MBA admission requirements page of UoT for details.

Hi Krishna,
It depends on country where you want to go for further study. Most of the B-school in UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France and limited number of universities in USA will accept your application entirely on the basis of IELTS score, your academic credentials, work experience, recommendations and extra curricular activities.
In other words, if you are not focusing on top 200 universities of world then you can proceed with IELTS score only.

You need to go through the University requirement that you are going to apply for Hotel management. Generally, universities and colleges are having some minimum requirement for the admission. IELTS is actually, a platform which test your proficiency of language in four skills that's why universities issue some minimum requirement for IELTS so that student can understand and adapt the native environment.
In case of New Zealand, You need minimum band 6 in IELTS. As of now you are not eligible for New Zealand but you can apply in various european countries like Switzerland, Poland, France, Latvia, Lithuania and Czech Republic.

I think it is possible in countries like Germany, Ireland and Canada. Some colleges in these countries won't ask for GMAT or GRE marks and they'll admit candidates with IELTS, Past academic performance and work experience (Mandatory).

Your IELTS score is fine but mostly appropriate for Bachelor degree programs. For PG programs an overall score of 6.5 with no part less than 6 is required. This requirement vary with universities so you must check the university websites. Check with the universities if they can offer waivers or can consider this score.

Yes, in such cases, the student must be academically very strong but he must demonstrate interests and hobbies outside academics. The SOP must be very good, even the reference letters will carry a lot of weightage. Intelligently, draft your application and apply early.

Hi,
If you are looking for Bachelor's degree, an overall IELTS of 6 is recommended with no section less than 5.5. For PG courses, an overall score of 6.5 is required mostly with no part less than 6. This is a general overview of the requirements. The scholarships will depend on your profile. Mostly, financial aid is offered by the universities on merit basis.

Hi,
65% is alright, however an overall score of 5.5 is not good. I will suggest you to retake IELTS exam. MS programs require 6.5 or higher in IELTS.
