NTU gives you a global campus, an English-medium environment, and direct exposure to Singapore&#8217;s job market, while IITs are cheaper and carry stronger brand recognition within India. Neither is objectively better; it depends on whether you want a Singapore-based career or one based in India.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1787554099009\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>How do Indian students get into NTU?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Indian students apply directly through NTU&#8217;s admissions portal with Class 12 marksheets, an English score (<a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/exams\/ielts\/practice-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IELTS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/toefl-score-not-available-after-10-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TOEFL<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/exams\/pte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PTE<\/a>), and <a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/exams\/sat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SAT <\/a>or ACT scores for most undergraduate programs.

Most programs accept an overall band of 6.0-6.5, but you can submit a TOEFL, PTE, or a Medium of Instruction certificate from your Class 12 or degree instead.
