Test rules and comparison with IELTS
The undergraduate page prints institution codes for TOEFL (2542) and IELTS (902) but none for PTE. The page does not mention PTE Academic Online or PTE Core or a validity period.
IELTS for undergraduates is 6.0, TOEFL iBT 75, iTEP 3.7 and Duolingo 110, so PTE 53 is the PTE route to IELTS 6.0. Graduate applicants need IELTS 6.5 with no sub-score below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 79.
