If you don't meet the minimum IELTS requirement, they offer pre-sessional English courses, foundation programmes and language support services to help candidates to improve there English language skills and get your place at Birkbeck.

Hi,
*Generally, for the less competitive courses in LSE such as sociology (which I have applied for), having a predicted grade of 85+ (with one subject, English being 98) was enough for them to consider me an academically strong candidate. Admittedly, I had good 10th boards grades, but anything above 9 should be fine. *Some courses ask for less (85+) and some ask for more (95+). Ensure that you at least meet these requirements as they are the basic things that you must have in order to even be considered.
*Since most people would view their personal statement as either bad or very good. Nobody who applies to universities like LSE would even think of sending a sub-par.
PS: A good way to look at your personal statement critically is to make a list of questions and see if you answer them.
