Is the English proficiency exam like IELTS mandatory for my application for a Master's/Bachelor's?

It depends. Most Irish universities require an English proficiency test like IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE Academic for master's applications.

However, since you completed a four-year bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from an English-medium institution in India, some universities may waive this requirement. Policies vary by university and program, so eligibility for a waiver is not guaranteed.

Reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor to identify universities that may offer an IELTS waiver based on your profile and get support with your application.
