The United Kingdom remains one of the world’s most desired study destinations. However, the requirement of taking the IELTS or PTE exam can sometimes feel like a daunting hurdle for Nepali students. 

Here is the exciting news: It is absolutely possible to study in the UK without an IELTS or PTE score! 

UK universities, recognized for their flexibility and commitment to international students, offer several alternative pathways to prove your English language proficiency. At Hanami International Educational, we help you navigate these options to secure your dream offer. 

The Three Main Alternatives to IELTS/PTE 

The key to waiving the IELTS or PTE is providing a university-approved alternative that demonstrates your strong English skills. 

1. Medium of Instruction (MOI) Certificate 

This is the most common and easiest option for Nepali students. 

What it is: An official letter from your previous academic institution (high school or university) confirming that your entire course of study—including classes, coursework, and exams—was conducted entirely in the English language. 

When it works: Most UK universities, especially for postgraduate (Master's) studies, will accept a valid MOI certificate, provided your academic performance (GPA/Percentage) is strong.

2. High Marks in Class 12 English 

For undergraduate (Bachelor's) applicants, your performance in the NEB or equivalent Class 12 English exam can be sufficient proof. 

The Requirement: Many UK universities will waive the IELTS requirement if you scored a Grade B, B+, or 60-70% or higher in your Grade 12 English subject. 

Hanami Pro Tip: Since the minimum accepted score varies by university, it's essential to check the specific requirements for your chosen institution. 

3. University-Specific Internal English Tests 

A growing number of UK universities offer their own cost-effective and convenient English language assessments. 

How it Works: Instead of a third-party test like IELTS, the university conducts a free or low cost online assessment or interview.
 
Example: Coventry University, one of our leading partners, offers the CUET (Coventry University English Test), which is specifically designed for their applicants and is an excellent route to gain admission without external tests.
