Is it necessary to do IELTS if my English is not very good but I have seen others improve after IELTS in UK/Ireland?

If your previous education was entirely in English, you may qualify for an IELTS waiver with a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter from your institution. Many universities in the UK and Ireland accept this, especially for students from India. However, if you feel your English proficiency is not strong, taking the IELTS can actually help you assess and improve your skills. Some universities may require IELTS scores even if you have an MOI letter, so it's important to check each institution’s policy. If you’d like more guidance on whether the MOI waiver applies to your target courses or need resources to strengthen your English, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
