If I have a medium of instruction letter from my college, can I avoid IELTS for Malaysia?

Yes, many Malaysian universities accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter from your college as proof of English proficiency, which can allow you to avoid submitting IELTS scores. The MOI letter must confirm that your degree was taught entirely in English.
However, acceptance of MOI varies by university and program - some may still require IELTS or other English tests.
