Is it true that some universities accept only if students have a minimum of 6.0 band score in each individual IELTS section for a Postgraduate?

Yes, some universities require at least a 6.0 band score in each individual IELTS section (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking), especially for postgraduate programs. Meeting only the overall band score may not be enough if any section is below their minimum.
If your section scores don’t meet these criteria, some universities may offer conditional admission with an English language course before your main program.
