SISTC test rules
For the bachelor's, SISTC says the evidence must have been completed within the last two years. International students applying from offshore also have to meet Genuine Student and financial requirements, which may include an interview. The page gives no Duolingo-specific instructions for sending scores.
For comparison, the same page asks for IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 6.0 for the bachelor's, and 6.5 with no band below 6.0 for the master's.
