Can I get a Norway student visa without IELTS?

IELTS is not the only pathway. Many universities in Norway accept PTE, TOEFL iBT, Cambridge, or institutional tests. Visa offices still expect credible English proficiency and consistent documentation — waivers vary by institution and intake.

What replaces IELTS for Indian students targeting Norway?

Common alternatives include PTE Academic, TOEFL iBT Home Edition where accepted, Duolingo (only where the institution explicitly lists it), and pathway/pre-sessional English. Always confirm the visa subclass rules for your passport at the time of application.
