How MIC handles Duolingo scores
MIC accepts Academic IELTS or the equivalent TOEFL or Duolingo score, and does not accept General IELTS. Results in examinations not listed may also be accepted. The page gives no Duolingo-specific validity period or sending steps, so confirm both with admissions.
For comparison, the same page asks for IELTS 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in any component.
