Exams You’ll Need to Ace
To study in Singapore for the 2026 intake, the exam checklist stays refreshingly straightforward. Most universities ask for English proficiency through IELTS (around 6.5+ for UG and 7.0+ for PG), TOEFL (80 to 90+), PTE, or even Duolingo for select programmes. If you are planning a Master’s in tech or science, then GRE may come into play. An MBA or management degree requires GMAT. Moreover, some undergraduate courses also consider SAT or ACT scores.
Requirements are course-specific, not one-size-fits-all, and many institutions offer English test waivers if your previous education was in English.
That’s why iKounselor’s IELTS Training Program is trusted by achievers across fields.

Just when you think the planetary world has shown you everything, Earth quietly drops a plot twist. No filters. No Photoshop. No sci-fi studio. These places exist exactly as they are, bending logic, colour, and belief. Blink twice. Your brain might need a reboot.
1. Blood Falls, Antarctica: Where Ice Bleeds
In the middle of the whitest, quietest place on Earth, a glacier bleeds red. Blood Falls spills out of Antarctica’s Taylor Glacier like a slow-motion horror film, staining the ice with deep crimson streaks. It looks unsettling, almost alive. But this isn’t blood. It’s a two-million-year-old, iron-rich saltwater lake trapped beneath the ice, finally meeting oxygen and rusting in public. Accessible only by helicopter or cruise ship, it’s the planet reminding us that even ice has secrets. (Treat your Eyes)
2. Sailing Stones, USA: Rocks That Refuse to Sit Still
In California’s Death Valley, stones go for walks. Heavy rocks, some weighing over 300 kg, glide across a dry lakebed, leaving long trails behind them like signatures. No hands. No engines. No pranksters. For decades, scientists were baffled. Turns out, thin sheets of ice, wind, and just the right conditions allow rocks to sail silently across mud. It’s physics behaving politely while looking paranormal. (Treat your Eyes)
3. Kawah Ijen, Indonesia: The Acid Lake That Glows Blue
This volcano doesn’t just erupt. It performs. At the summit of Mount Ijen lies a turquoise lake so acidic it could dissolve metal. By night, rivers of sulphur gas ignite into electric blue flames, making the crater glow like an alien planet. Miners walk through toxic fumes carrying molten-yellow sulphur on their backs, wrapped in scarves and courage. Beautiful. Deadly. Mesmerising. Earth, clearly showing off. (Treat your Eyes)
4. Lake Hillier, Australia: The Pink That Shouldn’t Exist
Imagine flying over Western Australia and spotting a lake the exact colour of bubblegum. Lake Hillier stays perfectly pink year-round, bordered by white sand and deep green forest. Scientists still debate why. Algae? Microbes? Brine shrimp? Nobody’s completely sure. What they do know: the water isn’t toxic, and thanks to its salinity, you’ll float like a cork if you swim. Yes, it’s real. No, it’s not edited. (Treat your Eyes)
IndiGo Chaos, Explained
A hilarious reel doing the rounds shows IndiGo passengers cracking jokes amid flight delays and confusion, turning frustration into full-blown meme material. The reality? IndiGo has been facing significant operational disruptions due to pilot shortages following new rest rules, winter fog, and ripple effects across major airports. While the internet found humor in the chaos, we know real travel plans were affected. To everyone who made it home (eventually). We hope the journey was safe, even if it was a little longer than planned! (Watch Now)
