IELTS

Hello Sweta,
First & foremost it's great to know your dream of studying abroad. The admission process begins almost one year prior to the commencement of the course. US should be your destination. There are plenty of institutions. However, I would advise you to go to a specialist agency dealing with sending students to the US since there are many nuances to be observed.
Best wishes!

If you have a 3-year's Bachelor's degree then Australia is better because Canada does not accept 3-years Bachelors.

Hi, yes you may, however see that you have enough time to submit your application. Ideally a year is required for the entire process and applications are submitted a year before the intakes. Also, I would recommend you to take the TOEFL if USA is what you are planning for.

Hi Magisetty,
IELTS is a test and there is no scholarship given to take an exam. You have to arrange the fees somehow. Scholarship are given to study a particular course, if you have very good IELTS score and academic percentile then the university may give you a scholarship.

Hi Naveed,
For UG courses a score of 6 with no section less than 5.5 is preferred so you may be considered, check with the colleges if they still require higher scores because it depends on the college. Keeping aside the IELTS score you must also have the relevant education background and good percentile.

Hi Arshnoor,
Yes, UK has been one of the oldest and popular study abroad destinations among Indians. But if you are planning to work the idea may not work since the work permit options have become very strict.

Hi,
It depends which university you are targeting. You may get a chance in a tier 3 college which may not be even accredited. If you are looking for a recognized degree I am afraid you must have to take the GMAT and must also possess some work experience.

Hi,
On the basis of your grades check top ranked universities in US and Canada such as University of Toronto, Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, University of British Columbia, University of Waterloo, University of California Los Angeles, etc.
However, you have to research on the various admission requirements and keep in mind your country choice and career plans, budget, etc. and narrow down your university choices accordingly. Shortlist 5-7 universities likewise.

Hi Dinesh,
It's a low score. Whether you can study abroad will depend on your academic profile and the university. Your IELTS is low but if the university wishes it can give you a bridge course. You must check university websites and email them.

TOEFL- If you are proficient in English, then you should not spend more than a total of 15 hrs. Just solve few sample tests. Same goes for IELTS. If you are moderately proficient, spend 2 hours every day for 3 weeks.
For SAT and ACT: It depends on your proficiency and your target score. If you are aiming for the top 10 percentile and also are quite proficient already, then spend 3 hours for 2 weeks solving papers and revision. If you have just started preparing, then spend 2 hours for 3 months to gain good understanding of the test pattern and to do well.
