What PTE score do you need for NYIT?

New York Tech asks for a Pearson PTE score of 53 for full admission to its degree programmes, and the graduate catalog gives the same 53 for full admission to graduate programmes. No skill minimums are published. Scores are valid for two years, so if you defer and your score will expire before the new start term you must send a new one.

If your PTE score falls short

Neither page describes a conditional route for a low PTE score. The graduate catalog waives the requirement for applicants who live or were educated in listed countries, including Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya, and the international page accepts an examination the Office of Admissions deems equivalent.

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