While most universities in the USA accept IELTS scores, some engineering programs do not require them. Notable institutions such as Stanford University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Harvard University may have different testing requirements. It’s always best to check the specific admissions pages of the universities you’re interested in to confirm their requirements.
Additionally, there are several countries where you can study without taking the IELTS, TOEFL, or similar tests. These include Canada, Australia, Germany, the USA, and Malaysia.
Various courses, such as Cambridge English, PTE, CAE, and ESOL, can serve as alternatives to the IELTS.
In the UK, many universities accept students without IELTS by considering high school English scores instead. Specifically, if your English scores in your 10th and 12th grades were above 60%, some universities may accept your application based on that criterion.
