Every program offered by any university abroad has some requirements that a student needs to fulfill in order to get admitted.

Any university you apply to, outside India have their entrance exams which are conducted in the university itself. Some of the universities do not conduct any entrance exams but they certainly see your results in the competitive exams that are necessary for you to study the subject.

There are competitive exams like TOEFL and IELTS that are necessary to give if you want to srudy abroad. Your score in the exam decides if you are eligible to get admitted or not.

•  TOEFL -  TOEFL is a competitive exam held to check an individual's command over the language english or their english language abilities.
