Is the IELTS exam mandatory for admission to UK universities or can I apply without it if my academic scores are good?
More expert answers
Many UK universities may waive the IELTS if your previous studies were taught in English. You’ll usually need to provide a Medium of Instruction letter from your college. Each university has its own rules, so always check the English language requirements for your chosen course. Some universities may accept other tests like PTE, TOEFL, or Duolingo as well.
With your 70% in Class 12 English, many UK universities may consider you for an IELTS waiver. For example, some universities accept 70% in Class 12 English from certain boards as proof of English proficiency, and others might accept a Medium of Instruction letter from your school. However, requirements differ by university and program. To be sure about eligibility for your chosen universities and courses, please consult your LeapScholar counsellor for personalized guidance.
