Study in UK without IELTS for Indian Student

IELTS is not the only way that a university can examine the English proficiency of applicants. If you haven’t given the IELTS exam, there are some alternatives provided by universities in the UK. Let’s look at the substituting criteria of IELTS offered by UK universities:

• Online interview: Some universities may ask you to appear for an online interview to assess your English proficiency.
• English marks obtained in high school: If you have scored more than 70% in English in your high school, then some universities will consider your high school marks rather than IELTS. However, universities have set their own requirements for different courses.
• English major: If you studied English as a major specialization while pursuing your undergraduate degree, then you do not need to appear for IELTS.
• Pre-sessional English Course: As elaborated above, some universities offer pre-sessional English courses for those who plan to study in UK without giving IELTS and thus can opt for these courses once they get accepted for their chosen degree or diploma program
