Hi Nraesh There is nothing called as a bad score. However, for academics, any University will expect you to get a 6.5. It slightly varies from country to country and the number of applicants they get and the grade of the university. I would earnestly advise you to prepare and retake IELTS as you are going to invest a huge money and your chances of successfully completing the program depend on IELTS scores(English proficiency).

A 5.5 IELTS score would not be considered a good score by most universities. Thanks.

It's not too bad, but you will not get admissions in "A" Rated universities and you will also loose opportunities to secure scholarship. Anything above 6 score is recommended. One of our student recently scored 8 in all modules.

Yes, as the best universities look for 7+ band for admissions.

Hi, Most universities prefer an overall band score of 6 and above, which means that your individual score also needs to be above 5.5. With that being said, some Universities do allow an individual score of 5.5. It is not a bad score but your entry to reputed universities might get limited.

Hi Aditya, MIT doesn't accept IELTS score for the undergraduate admissions, but for graduate and doctorate courses IELTS is considered. IELTS band 7.5 would be considered a good score. Thanks.
