Hello Yogita,

Yes, they do. Over 3,000 institutions and programs in the USA accept IELTS scores as proof of English language skills. Minimum score requirement might vary from 6.0 to 9.0 depending on University and major. IELTS results are available just 13 days after the test.

• Trusted by the USA’s top 25 universities.
• Accepted by all Ivy League colleges.
• Used by programs at the top 50 US universities with the most international students.
• Accepted by Community Colleges.

Unlike 5-6 years ago, IELTS is now widely accepted as proof of English proficiency.  Though still there exist a few top universities or a few departments of the universities that accept only TOEFL. 

It is better to check the department website where you wish to apply whether they accept IELTS or not. Just to be safe. 

Hope this helps.

Dear Jasmine, there is no such eligibility criteria for IELTS because IELTS is not an entrance examination. It is a Language Proficiency test conducted for admission into foreign univerisites. And this is specifically for non native English speakers who are applying to go abroad either for higher studies or for a career. This test checks various levels of the proficiency of the candidate in English. So once you have decided to take up IELTS, you have to register yourself at their official website. You can book a slot by making a payment. Once you select the date, exam city and time, you make a payment and attend the online exam on the.particular date. So once he results are out, you have to submit these results to the University that you want to take admission in. 

IELTS is a English test that you have to take to go abroad and study. It is a language proficiency test and not an entrance exam. So once you decide which country you want to go, you register for IELTS on their website and book your slot. There are test centres all over India and you can choose a test city and centre. Based on the slot, you write IELTS and get your score. Based upon the score you can apply for the Universities. Please check the website for the registration process.

Hey Ankita, 

Glad to know that you are interested in Studying Abroad with genetic Engineering as your specialization. IELTS is applicable for Genetic Engineering as well. 

Firstly, IELTS is an exam which is applicable for any stream regardless of the subject. Exam like TOEFL and IELTS are both common exam taken for passing English LAnguage Profieciency. 

IELTS , which means International English Language Testing System, Which is usually taken by those who wants to study or work where English is used as language of communication. It is basically a english Profeicency test . It uses a 9 band Scale to identify the profeciency level of a person ranging from one for non proficency to 9 for expert. 

There are two types of IELTS Test - 

• Academic - for those who want to pursue Higher Education or professional registration in English Speaking environment. They usually assesses whether the candidate is ready for education or training. It reflects the features of the academic language. Many Instituion, especially UK instituions prefer IELTS or TOEFL too. 
• General Training - It is taken by those who want to pursue secondary education , work experience, or training programmes in an english environment. IT is also taken up if a person wants to emmigrate to Australia, Canada, NewZealand or UK. This test solely focuses on the survival skills required for social outreach and in work places. 

Hoewever , even if the option varies, the areas of testing remains the same, but in the both test, the only variation will be regarding the content and subject in that particular area. 

IELTS assesses a candidate based on 4 broader areas- 

• listening  :  Here , there will be 4 recording by a native english speakers and the student must write answers to series of questions after listening to the audio. 
• Reading : Here, the content between the two types of test varies, for academic, the text include descriptive to factual and discursive to analytical. it will be taken from books magazine etc appropriate for a person who wants to study in an university where as for General training , the texts will be based on the recent newspapers, magazines etc which you see in daily life. 
• Writing : this again varies with academic and general training concept, Academic will include graphs tables etc interpretation of those and essays reegarding a point or arguments where as in general training, the situation would be given and based on that analysis writing will be done as well as essay for the topic in response to point of veiw or problem etc. 
• Speaking : this is the last part , which is same for both the type, its to acess your spoken english, The person will be having the general talk at first and then the Pick and speak part where you need to prepare about topic on spot and you will be regarded with questions and lastly , discussion on that topic. 

these are the main category for testing. So the IELTS is done to check your english profeicency and doesnt depend on the subject. You can take up any subject in your college/ university of interest and check which of the exams they prefer. SOme colleges presfer onlt TOEFL , which is again similar to IELTS and some prefer either of the two. Most of instituition in USA prefer one of the two IELTS or TOEFL along with GRE which includes many more other than the normal English profeciency tests.

So answer for your question as said before as well, IELTS is applicable for Genetic engineering as well. 

Hope it helps, Good Luck. 

Hi Serene Roy,

IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System and is one of the most popular testing system for the language, English.

The exam is regularly held throughout the year, with 48 fixed dates, which is held based on local demand with upto four times in about one month. And the certificate is valid for only two years.

So I would recommend you to take up the exam a few months before you plan to take up your PG course.

Additionally, I'm explaining further details about the exam.

There are various academies and institutes that offer training for students willing to take up the exam. You can choose an institute depending on your geographic location.

The exam is divided into two parts- listening & speaking test and Reading & writing test.

Depending on your choice, you can take either the Academic training version of the test which will help you study in any English speaking country at the tertiary level or you can choose the General Training version of the test if you want to go to an English speaking country for work, school or any training program.
