Can the required exams be taken online in India for a Master's?

Yes, you can take the IELTS Academic exam online from home in India. The Listening, Reading, and Writing sections are completed remotely, and the Speaking test is done via video call with an examiner.
This online option is only for the Academic version and is not valid for immigration purposes. For most Master's applications, it is accepted, but university policies can vary.
If you need the exam for immigration or specific visa requirements, you must take it at an authorized test center.
