Yes, English proficiency tests like IELTS or TOEFL are typically required if you haven't completed 12th standard.

Some universities may waive this if:
- Your previous degree was taught in English (in a recognized English-speaking country)
- You have significant work experience in an English-speaking environment (varies by institution)

Requirements and waivers differ by university and program, and most will still expect formal proof of English skills. For guidance on your specific options, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
