For GRE IELTS & TOEFL you won't face any issues, as I've already given 2 of the tests mentioned above I know about the whole process they don't even ask about which college you're studying at, all you need is a valid passport. Talking about MS, yes, there will be hurdles but you can put the final degree as still awaiting.

Hello Ashwath,
11 arrears in engineering may affect your application for MS but I would recommend you to go for it. You can always have a chance to cover it up with your extra curricular activities, projects or any other innovation you've been part of. There are some good universities in US and Canada who focuses on overall personality of students rather than their academic scores. Having said that, I would suggest you to achieve high scores in GRE and other exams you've mentioned.
Best wishes.

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.
In TOEFL 2026, the computer monitors your answers in Module 1. If you do well, Module 2 becomes harder to help you get a higher band score. This multistage adaptive system replaces the fixed-length sections used in 2025.
