Taylor's guide for Indian applicants says it accepts IELTS, TOEFL or MUET, that IELTS 6.0 or above is generally sufficient, and that if your previous education was fully conducted in English you can submit a medium-of-instruction letter from your school or university instead.
Undergraduate pages also accept a completed pre-university or diploma programme conducted in English in place of a test.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Taylor's programme page and in your offer, so check it there before you book a test.
