Is there a possibility to get admission in Australia or New Zealand with my profile, and what are the English language test requirements like TOEFL or IELTS for a Master's?

Yes, you have a strong chance of admission to master's programs in Australia or New Zealand with your four-year engineering degree and nearly 6 years of work experience. Your background is especially valuable for specialized or industry-focused courses.
English language test requirements (subject to change):
- Australia: Most universities require IELTS (overall 6.5, no band below 6.0) or equivalent TOEFL/PTE scores.
- New Zealand: Typically IELTS 6.5 (no band below 6.0); some programs may need higher scores (up to IELTS 7.5).
- Note: TOEFL iBT scores from July 26, 2023, to May 4, 2024, are not accepted for Australian student visas.
