Some UK universities also accept Duolingo, OIETC, Language Cert etc. test certificates to assert your proficiency in English. Additionally, may UK universities have their own English Language tests to assess students’ profiiciency in English.
Therefore, if you are student from Bangladesh, it is not mandatory for you to have an IELTS test certificate, you may choose to go for other options available as stated above. However, if you are coming for a bachelor or masters foundation course, you must sit IELTS for UKVI.
