Before applying to IELTS or TOEFL i should apply for any universities in abroad?

IELTS and TOEFL are just language proficiency tests, not the only requirements for studying abroad. You need a language proficiency test score as a part of your application, but you will obviously have to apply to universities for your course eventually.

You can register for IELTS or TOEFL before actually filing out your university applications because you need the scores during the application process. 

I hope this clears your confusion.
