A question which every admissions officer will ask is, why the 3-year gap? Especially, if it is a University which is situated outside India. If you do not have a logical explanation then you may not get admission. You can apply and try if you get through then good, if not there are enough good Universities and Colleges in India where you can do your Masters.

Hi Satabdi,
IELTS is mostly a requirement from the school. Under certain cases you can apply to a school without IELTS. If you have completed your education in an English medium school/college, or if you have spent good number of years or even studied previously in an English speaking nation chances are that the university may waive off the IELTS requirement. You need to write to the concerned university directly. Once you receive an admission offer, you will apply for the visa. Hope this helps. Feel free to revert.

Hi Harish,

• University of Toronto
• McGill University

• University of Waterloo
• University of British Colombia
GRE and IELTS requirements varies, so I will request you to visit the individual websites for eligibility criteria. It is recommended that you have very good academic grades, GRE score of above 310 and IELTS of 6.5 as these are some of the most competitive universities.
Hope it helps.

Hello Priya,
IELTS is not sufficient to do your MBA from USA. Please note that IELTS and TOEFL are only English proficiency tests and do not reflect your aptitude for either MBA or MS. You will be required to take the GMAT or the GRE besides other requirements.

Hi Naqvi,
GRE is one of the standardized test required for admissions into US universities for MS courses. Thousands of applicants from all over the world apply to universities in US for pursuing their masters. Such exams are necessary to shortlist the best applicants amongst so many.
You must give the GRE firstly because it is mandatory. A good GRE score will help you secure admissions in a good university. You will have a chance to be considered for scholarship. Majority of the students are granted scholarships on the basis of their academic grades and GRE scores alone. Also, a good GRE score helps in getting a visa later.
Hope this h

Hello Puja,
SELT is a a term used by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) for the accepted English language tests as a proof of English Language proficiency. IELTS is recognized as SELT. So you must give IELTS as SELT is not a test but a term used for accepted tests for UK visa. SELT stands for Secure English Language Test.
Good Luck.

Hello Ramesh
In most cases you would require an IELTS score to study in Germany. However, you do not need an IELTS if you hold a bachelor's degree which was taught in English or if your mother tongue is English or if you stayed or worked in a country where English is the official language, and this will depend entirely on the university's admission rules.
German universities offer the programs in a very reasonable budget for international students. German national universities are free of cost and are extremely competitive to get into. They may charge a small amount of semester fee from international students. Even private and other pub
