TOEFL requirement

by discoguru » Thu May 09, 2013 1:45 am
Hello good people,

I'm currently in the process of studying for the GMAT and was wondering if I would need to take the TOEFL as well. My background information is as following: I did my B.E. (Computers) from Mumbai University, India. I followed that with a Masters in H.C.I. from the University of Nottingham, U.K. in Dec. 2012. For the Masters degree, I had to take the IELTS.

Given this, do you think I would have to take the TOEFL? I ask only because I would have to schedule an appointment for the test ...

Cheers!

Hi discoguru,

If you are taking IELTS, you dont need to take TOEFL. IELTS/TOEFL are english proficiency tests and you can take either of them. There are very few B-Schools which have specific requirement of english proficiency test. But you can also get it waived off by writing to admissions committee if you have done all your study in english. for essays and analysis you can visit https://tinyurl.com/b4zgg8u.

If you have completed a degree in English, you do not need to take the TOEFL. Were any of your degrees completed in English?

I wish you all the best.
