Undergraduate programs usually accept IELTS 6.0 or PTE 52. Several UK and European universities also offer IELTS waivers based on Class 12th English marks (70%+).

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Student visa processing timelines vary by country: UK Student Visas take 3–4 weeks (Priority options available); Australian Student Visas take 4–8 weeks; Canadian Study Permits take 6–12 weeks; German Student Visas take 6–10 weeks; and Schengen/Italy visas take 3–6 weeks. We recommend starting your application 6 to 8 months before your target intake.

When should I start preparing for my study abroad application?
