Will my Haryana board academic background affect the English test requirements in UAE?

It depends on your medium of instruction. Many UAE universities may exempt you from English proficiency tests like IELTS if your previous studies (including Haryana board) were conducted in English.
- If your education was in English: You might not need to take an English test.
- If your education was not in English: You will likely need to submit scores from a test like IELTS (typically IELTS 6.0 overall, no band below 5.5 is common).
Requirements vary by university and program.
