U need B1.
So u need ielts 4 band in all discipline listening, speaking, writing and reading. which is equivalent to B1.
It doesn't matter whether u give the ielts test in academic mode or General mode.
Academic ielts u can use to get admission in colleges, universities and immigration purposes (Tier 1, 2, 4, 5)
General ielts u can use only for immigration purposes (Tier 1,2,5)
But General ielts is bit easier than the academic.
Listening and speaking tests r same for both mode
Only difference is in writing and reading.
Ielts General writing and reading r easier that academic.
My advise to u is give Ielts general as u r applying for Tier 1 (Ent).
