Test rules and how PTE compares with IELTS at KMITL
The announcement lists the test as "Pearson PTE" and does not name PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or PTE General. It says test scores must be no more than two years old and gives no way to send PTE scores, so upload your score report with your application and ask the school if you are unsure which Pearson test it means.
In the same table, PTE 55 sits beside IELTS 6.0, TOEFL iBT 79, Cambridge FCE, CAE or CPE 170, CU-TEP 90 and Duolingo 110.

If you fall short
The language requirement is marked optional. Applicants who do not submit a score, or whose score is below the minimum, may be granted conditional admission and must then take additional General Education English courses at KMITL in their first academic year.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your KMITL programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
