IELTS

Hi Nirmal,
It depends on a lot of factors like which university you are applying to, the desired programme, your financial situation, career plans, etc. You know that your academic background is not too competitive, but a very exceptional personal statement, essays and recommendation letters will push your application. Your IELTS is low for an MS course, in fact, you should take TOEFL. If the course you want to do demands another test like GRE, you have to take it. After you have submitted the application, the university will send you the offer letter, it depends on the university totally. You can then apply for the visa only after you get the offer letter.
