TOEFL or IELTS for USA

Question

I want to apply for MS in EECS in USA for Fall'23. Most universities have started accepting both TOEFL and IELTS. Which exam should I go for?

Hi,

There's not much difference between both with respect to the test content. Both of them have 4 parts - Listening, speaking, writing, and reading. 
Both of them require around 1 - 1.5 months of preparation. 
If you're only applying to universities in USA, then you can opt for TOEFL. But if you plan on applying to other universities in other countries apart from USA (Canada, UK, Australia, etc) then you can give IELTS. 
You can check the difference between both tests here - https://yocket.com/blog/ielts-vs-toefl
