Is it possible to get an IELTS waiver based on my academic scores and graduation year in UK/USA for a MBA?

Yes, you may be eligible for an IELTS waiver for your MBA applications in the UK and USA, depending on your academic background and when you graduated.
Many universities waive the IELTS requirement if your previous degree was taught and assessed in English, especially for Indian students. Typically, you will need to provide a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter from your university as proof.
Eligibility criteria and policies vary by university and are subject to change.
Can you skip IELTS with your MOI or 12th English marks?
