SUPPLEMENT MATERIALS

All applicants may submit supplementary materials to enhance their admission files. Additional documents might be required for international applicants.

1. Evidence of English proficiency – for students whose first language is not English:

English is the medium of instruction for all classes at Rajiv Gandhi University of Science and Technology. For applicants whose native language is English, no additional proof of English proficiency is required. For applicants whose first language is not English, in addition to meeting or exceeding all of the admission criteria they must demonstrate English proficiency by providing official minimum scores on one of the following:

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) minimum scores

• 550 on the paper-based test
• 85 on the Internet-based test with a minimum score of 20 on each section
• International English Language Testing System (IELTS) minimum score of at least 6.5
• American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), “high advanced” score on the writing proficiency portion of the test.
• Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) minimum score of at least 500 on the critical reading portion.

Student applicants who meet the minimum required composite score but do not meet the minimum section scores will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis for possible exemption.  Applicants who meet or exceed all of the admission requirements, but do not demonstrate English proficiency through minimum TOEFL, IELTS, ACTFL or SAT scores, may be admitted provisionally and would be required to take an English proficiency test. For applicants whose transcripts show extensive study in institutions in which English is the language of instruction, no additional proof of English proficiency is required for admission evaluation, but applicants may be asked to take an English proficiency test upon enrolment.
