Can some UK universities waive the IELTS requirement based on my 12th grade English score?

Yes, you can potentially get an IELTS waiver for UK master's programs if your 12th standard English score meets the criteria set by individual universities. Many UK universities accept strong English marks in Indian 12th standard exams - typically around 65-70% or higher - as proof of language proficiency. However, requirements vary between universities and sometimes between specific courses. Some universities may also ask for additional documents, like a Medium of Instruction letter. To confirm the exact requirements for your chosen universities and programs, please reach out to me for personalized guidance.

It depends. Many UK universities may waive English language test requirements if you scored 70 - 80% in 12th-grade English, especially if you studied under CBSE or ISC boards. Some universities might accept this as equivalent to an IELTS score.

However, requirements differ by university and program. Some may also ask for a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter from your school.

These policies are subject to change and may not apply to all institutions or for visa purposes. Check the specific requirements for each university and course with your LeapScholar counsellor.
