Minimum IELTS and PTE score requirements update to apply for a study visa in Australian universities in diploma, bachelor or undergraduate, masters or postgraduate levels in 2021.

Even if you are not able to achieve the minimum score, you may still be eligible to apply for a student visa to study ELICOS. 

There are different requirements for diploma, bachelor, postgraduate or masters degree. Also, different universities in Australia have different score requirement for each course. 

Before we move forward, please note that your score card is valid for 2 years only. It means that if you took an English language test before 2 years, you'll have to reappear in the test and achieve the required score again. 

In case you're not able to achieve the minimum score requirements, you may still be eligible to apply for ELICOS in Australia. This is an English language course designed for international students who fail to meet the minimum score requirements. Once you complete ELICOS in Australia, you become eligible to begin your university course.

Your education consultant or agent may be able to help further in this regard. Just consult an education consultant for more guidance. 

 If you're going to apply for a diploma or an undergraduate course, You must achieve an overall score of 5.5 in IELTS, with no individual band less than 5. Similarly if you're going to take the PTE test, then you'll have to score overall 42 with no individual band less than 36. 

If you're able to achieve these scores you'll meet  the minimum criteria set by the Australian immigration department to apply for a study visa in Australia but there is no guarantee that all the universities will accept these scores. There are few universities which accept these minimum scores but there are many universities in Australia which demand a higher overall score than 5.5.  Additionally, it also depends on the course you want to enroll into. 

Postgraduate or masters degree course the minimum overall score requirement is 6 with each band not less than 5.5. In PTE you need an overall score of 50 with each band not less than 42.
I am repeating the same thing again. There are a few universities which accept these scores but most of the universities require you to score higher than these minimum scores.

Now let’s have a look at an example. Let’s say that for a masters degree course you score 6.5 in listening, 5.5 in reading, 5.5 in writing, and 6.5 in speaking. Your overall score is 6.0. In this case you meet both the criteria for overall minimum score, which is 6 and each band score which is 5.5. 

In the second example you achieve 6.5, 5.5, 5.0 and 7.0 respectively in listening, reading, writing and speaking sections. Despite achieving an overall score of 6.0, you fail to meet the criteria for English language because you scored 5.0 in the writing section. 

If you want to find out more, just visit the website of the university that you're looking to enroll into and try to download a Handbook or brochure for the intended course. Usually a detailed information on scores requirement is included in there.
