IELTS

It is impossible to get admission and visa for study in Australia without clearing any English proficiency exam. You need to clear IELTS, PTE, OET or similar exams. However, if your score is less and not able to find the desired score then you can go through ELICOS.

Hello Vishvesh,
If you want to invest in a reputed university, then you must the entrance exam. IELTS or TOEFL are English language tests and are mandatory for any foreign university. Some universities can waive it off, if you have a good profile. SAT or GRE exam will depend on where you want to apply.

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.

If you want to be 100% sure for admission and visa, kindly repeat the IELTS and score overall band 6.5, not less than 6 in any section.

Hi Palanisamy,
Every university has different requirements. Can you mention your desired level, UG or PG?

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,
Can you share your scores and detailed education background? Why your visa application was rejected?

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.
