IELTS Cutoff generally ranges from 7 to 8 for the top universities. Universities have a pre-determined sectional cutoff for each of the sections of the IELTS syllabus. Harvard, Stanford, MIT, California Institute of Technology and the other top-ranking universities across the world require IELTS score above 7.  IELTS cutoff varies on the basis of the applied program at specific institutions.
