Will I get an IELTS waiver if I have good academic percentages?

Yes, you may be eligible for an IELTS waiver if you have strong academic percentages, especially in English subjects.
- High marks in English (70% or above) in Class 12 from CBSE, ICSE, or recognized state boards can improve your chances.
- Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter from your previous institution, if your degree was taught entirely in English, is often accepted as proof of English proficiency.
Waiver policies differ by university and program, and some may require additional documents or have specific criteria.
