Is it possible to get an IELTS exemption if my transcript states that my medium of instruction was English?

Yes, many universities may grant an IELTS exemption if your transcript or a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter confirms your previous studies were conducted entirely in English.
The MOI letter should be issued by your institution and clearly state that English was the language of instruction. However, exemption policies vary by university and program - some may still require IELTS or additional proof of English proficiency.
