Before the I-20

Graduate applicants show a financial statement from the last six months with funds of USD 22,500 to get the I-20. Applications are not reviewed until all documents arrive.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admission cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Indiana Tech programme page and in your admission letter, so check it there before you book a test.

Minimum vs competitive score

Where Indiana Tech publishes an IELTS score, it is the minimum: the floor an application has to meet to be considered, not a score that guarantees an offer.

Competitive programmes, and courses with far more applicants than places, may expect more than the minimum, and some departments set their own overall or per-skill scores, often for writing or speaking. The course page has the final word, so check it before you book a test.

If you are close to the line, aim for a margin above it: one weak skill can miss the requirement even when the overall band clears it. Not sure where you stand? Take a free IELTS mock test and get a band for each skill.
