Dear Ishan,
As per their admission policy on website, if the duration of your Bachelors is less than 4 years then you are not eligible to do MBA from Harvard or Stanford because they generally follow American education system. According to that, the length of graduation is 4 years (fresher, sophomore, junior, senior). Hence they wouldn't allow if you have done B.Com, BBA, BA or something like this.
In addition to this, according to them if you really wish to pursue MBA from Harvard, you need to have post graduate Diploma after Bachelors. IELTS or TOEFL is only required if the medium of instruction in your college is not in English.

Are there new question types I should practice for TOEFL 2026?

Raushan Kumar

Yes. You must practice "Complete the Words" (filling missing letters) and "Build a Sentence" (unscrambling words). Also, the Speaking section now has "Listen and Repeat" and "Take an Interview" tasks with no preparation time, replacing the old 2025 independent tasks.

Will my old 0–120 TOEFL score still be valid in 2026?

Raushan Kumar

Yes! Scores stay valid for 2 years. For a transition period (2026–2028), your score report will show both the new 1.0–6.0 band and a comparable 0–120 score. This helps universities compare your results fairly during the switch.

How much shorter is the TOEFL 2026 exam compared to 2025?
