Expert Answers

Will scoring above 7 on the IELTS help me get scholarships in Ireland or Canada?

→

Yes, an IELTS score above 7 strengthens your application, but it usually helps you qualify for admission rather than directly winning a scholarship. Scholarships like Ireland's GOI-IES and most Canadian university awards weigh academic grades and achievements more heavily than your English score alone.

Annual tuition is roughly Rs 16 to 35 lakh in the UK, Rs 18 to 35 lakh in Canada, Rs 20 to 40 lakh in Australia and Rs 30 to 70 lakh in the US, with UK living costs around Rs 80,000 to 1.2 lakh a month.

Will my existing IELTS score be accepted for master's programs in Ireland and Canada, given that it meets each university's requirements?

→

Do I need to take the GCQ exam before applying to universities in Ireland or Canada?
