In new guidance is mentioned that if you have Bachelors degree and you took all your course in English you dont need IELTS

But there is mentioned too:

if you had Masters or PHD course in English you still need IELTS

becouse Masters duration is smaller than bachelors

So you need IELTS.

As per the new guidelines, either you have to submit an IELTS test report (Band 6 or above), or the following 2 documents - a) Bachelors degree and b) letter from awarding institution that the Bachelors degree was taught in English.

For both HSMP application and HSMP extension (FLR), both "academic" and "general" IELTS test reports are accepted.

For HSMP application, the IELTS test report must be LESS THAN 2 year old. For HSMP extension (FLR), it says older test reports will be acceptable, but doesn't state how old are deemed acceptable.

Tests other than IELTS can be accepted but it will be the applicant's responsibility to get a letter from NARIC that the test undertaken is equivalent to IELTS standards and that your score is equal to / more than the IELTS test band 6.
