When I was applying for studies abroad, I remember being confused by a similar question — IELTS vs TOEFL vs others — because everyone had a different opinion and most advice was very generic. Over time I realised the problem wasn't the test itself, but the lack of clarity on what actually fit my situation.
I ran into the same issue later with health insurance. Policies looked fine on paper, just like test score requirements do, but the real strength only shows when you look deeper.

To be honest, using MOI (Medium of Instruction) is a little bit risky. Your university might give you admission without IELTS, but the Visa Officer has the power to reject you if they feel you are not serious.

Yes, nowadays many US universities accept Duolingo English Test (DET) for admission because it is cheap and fast. If the university accepts it and sends your I-20 Form, you can apply for visa. But remember, for visa interview, some strict officers still trust IELTS or TOEFL more.

No, IELTS is not mandatory for the visa if your university accepts you without it. The Visa Officer only checks your CAS Letter. If your university writes on the CAS that they have checked your English already, then the embassy will not ask for any IELTS score. You can get the UK Student Visa easily without the exam.

Yes taking German Visa without IELTS is possible. If the university accepts your MOI and gives you an admission letter, the embassy usually accepts it too. The altenatives of IELTS English test is also a path. But you must check the specific Germany student visa requirements for your country carefully.
