You will likely need to take the IELTS test for master's applications in Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands, as most English-taught programs require proof of English proficiency. However, some universities may waive the IELTS if you provide a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate showing your Indian bachelor's degree was taught entirely in English. This policy varies by university and program.

Since your intake is February 2027, it's best to start preparing for IELTS now. Early preparation gives you enough time to build your skills, achieve the required score, and retake the test if needed.

If you want help identifying universities that may waive IELTS or need a personalized preparation plan, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.

Yes, most universities and scholarship programs abroad require you to take an English proficiency exam like IELTS or TOEFL for admission, especially in the UK, USA, and Germany.

- UK: Most postgraduate programs require an IELTS score of 6.5 - 7.0 or a TOEFL score of 72 - 107 (requirements vary by university and course).
- USA: Minimum IELTS scores usually range from 6.0 - 7.5; TOEFL is widely accepted, with typical minimums between 80 - 110.
- Germany: For postgraduate programs, IELTS scores of 6.5 - 7.5 are often needed. Some programs may set higher requirements.

Some universities may waive this requirement if your previous education was in English, but scholarships often still need a valid score. Requirements are subject to change and vary by institution and program.
