Hi Pratiksha,
If your English is not strong plus if you are planning to study abroad I will strongly advice you to improve your English communication skills. How will you converse with students and how will you sustain the English speaking environment if you are not well-versed with the language of communication. Nevertheless you will need an all-rounded good performance in your test to pass the TOEFL decently.
