29 May 2026 · Answered by Swastika Ghosh · 1 min read
For most universities, the typical IELTS requirement is around 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0. However, this can vary depending on the university and course. Top universities or more competitive programs may ask for 7.0 or even 7.5, while some universities may accept 6.0 or even 5.5 for certain courses.
