How to Study Abroad without IELTS or TOEFL

Can I study abroad without appearing in IELTS or TOEFL? This is one of the most common question asked by many students who wish to study abroad but are afraid of not clearing the IELTS or TOEFL test. The answer to the question is YES, you can study abroad without IELTS or any other of those tests.

There are plenty of options for studying abroad even by skipping the IELTS or TOEFL test, but they particularly depend on the Country or the University you are applying for. IELTS is usually required by Universities for the admission process, not the Countries, so your admission without IELTS depends upon the University’s criteria for applicants. Most Universities that teach in English, require their applicants to give a proof of their English language proficiency. IELTS or TOEFL is one way to prove this skill. However, there are certain cases when universities let loose in this section.
