Can I get a waiver for IELTS based on my 12th grade English score in UK/Ireland?

It depends on the university and program. Some institutions accept strong 12th-grade English marks from recognized Indian boards as proof of English proficiency and may waive the IELTS requirement.

- Many UK universities (like Kingston University London, University of Nottingham) accept CBSE or CISCE 12th-grade English scores for an IELTS waiver, if you meet their minimum percentage.

It depends. Some universities may waive the IELTS requirement if you have strong Class 12 English marks, but this usually requires a minimum score - often 70% or higher.

With 64% in Class 12 English, you may not meet the typical threshold for an IELTS waiver at most institutions. Even if a university grants a waiver, visa authorities (especially in the UK) may still require an approved English test like IELTS.

Policies vary by university and country.

An IELTS waiver lets you skip the standard IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test if you can show strong English skills through other means.

For Ireland, some universities may offer an IELTS waiver if you've completed a degree taught entirely in English - often accepted for degrees from countries like India. Each university sets its own rules, and you may need to provide proof, such as a letter confirming English as the medium of instruction.

Waivers are not automatic and are decided by the university’s admissions team. Check the specific requirements for your chosen program before applying.
