IELTS

If you want to be 100% sure for admission and visa, kindly repeat the IELTS and score overall band 6.5, not less than 6 in any section.

Hi Palanisamy,
Every university has different requirements. Can you mention your desired level, UG or PG?

Yes, in such cases, the student must be academically very strong but he must demonstrate interests and hobbies outside academics. The SOP must be very good, even the reference letters will carry a lot of weightage. Intelligently, draft your application and apply early.

Hi,
If you are looking for Bachelor's degree, an overall IELTS of 6 is recommended with no section less than 5.5. For PG courses, an overall score of 6.5 is required mostly with no part less than 6. This is a general overview of the requirements. The scholarships will depend on your profile. Mostly, financial aid is offered by the universities on merit basis.

Hi,
Can you share your scores and detailed education background? Why your visa application was rejected?

Hi,
65% is alright, however an overall score of 5.5 is not good. I will suggest you to retake IELTS exam. MS programs require 6.5 or higher in IELTS.

Hi Mohammed,
Please write to studyabroad@shiksha.com for university selection.
296 is a low score you may check for universities not requiring the GRE for better chances.

Hi Pathik,
Can you specify the program and country?

Yes, you can get admission. But, your IELTS score should be 6 to get admission in a reputed college.
All the best.
