The good news is that IELTS is no longer mandatory for admission to some European universities. If you have a degree from a university with English medium or have completed your education in any of the English speaking countries like USA, Canada or Australia you will be exempted from the IELTS.
Apart from this, certain European universities accept scores of other English language proficiency tests apart from the IELTS. These tests are:
TOEFL
PTE
Cambridge English language tests
