IELTS
is the abbreviation of the International English Language Testing System, and
this is an English examination system which is expected to be taken by students
with non-native English background who are thinking of studying in the UK.
IELTS is a part of the usual procedure for admission to the UK. It tests a
candidate on their listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills in English

your IELTS or did not appear for the same, then you do not worry, as many
colleges do not require IELTS as a mandatory part of their admission process.
