No — IELTS is not compulsory for every country. Accepted language tests and exemption policies vary by institution and immigration category.
Match the test to the purpose
IELTS Academic is commonly used for higher education, IELTS General Training for certain migration and non-academic purposes, PTE Academic for accepted university and selected visa pathways, and OET for selected healthcare and professional registration purposes.
