What is IELTS exam and what's the minimum score to pass the exam?

Hello Vinod, IELTS is an exam for English Proficiency needed for pursuing higher education in overseas countries. While there is no passing score but as it has Reading, Writing, Listening & Speaking evaluated out of 9 Bands(on a scale of 0.5) comprehensively & individual too, one needs to have a 6.0+ atleast for Undergrad education(after 12th) & 6.5+ for Masters or higher keeping individual sections too 5.5+ & 6.0+ respectively. The IDP & British Council are co owners for IELTS. Regards Nidhi Sharma

Dear Vinod, IELTS is an English language testing system, it consists of 4 parts, Speaking, Listening, Reading & writing. The scores are given in bands least being 1 band and highest 9, each section is scored individually and also an overall score is given, there is nothing called a passing score and as Nidhi has already mentioned the minimums are as per the course/ college being applied for requires.
