IELTS

It is completely dependent on the schools you are applying for. You have chances to get your visa. IELTS 6.0 to 6.5 is a good score.
All the best.

You will have it book it through for example, British Council or IDP. You will choose the location and date for your exam. You will need to choose general or academic format of IELTS exam meaning which type of IELTS format you must appear. For example, for migration to Canada it needs IELTS and for studies it needs academic. Make sure to book the exam well beforehand so that you set your mind properly and prepare seriously.

Hi Ram,
It is very difficult for someone to pinpoint on particular universities which can accept your profile. It will be a challenging in Canada since they need more percentage and for MS admissions are very competitive. You can try in Concordia, Simon Fraser, etc. but there is no guarantee. You will have better chance in Australia from top ranked to mediocre ones. You should retake your IELTS more than 6.5 is generally required by universities for PG courses.

Successful completion of an Australian year 12 senior secondary certificate of education or equivalent. RMIT is committed to admissions transparency. View the 2018 ATAR distribution information for our degrees and information about how admissions work at RMIT. Current Year 12 prerequisite units 3 and 4 - a study score of at least 25 in one of Mathematical Methods (any) or Specialist Mathematics; and a study score of at least 25 in any English (except EAL) or at least 30 in English (EAL).
In 2018, the annual student contribution amount (tuition fee) you will pay for a standard year of full-time study is between $6,444 and $10,754.

IELTS is a must for studying in Australia and Canada.

Check Simon Fraser, Dalhousie University, Windsor University, Concordia University, etc. You may be eligible in these good universities. Top ranked ones generally require more than 8.

Hi,
IELTS may be waived, it depends on the university and also on your profile, your GMAT score, academic percentage, etc.
