IELTS Registration

Test Dates
For latest test dates, contact the nearest BRITISH COUNCIL office or visit www.ielts.org. The Listening, Reading and Writing Modules are conducted on the same day as the test date, but the Speaking Module is conducted on any date between the period starting from seven days before to seven days after the examination date for the other three modules. This is at the discretion of the test centre, subject to the availability of slots.

The test can be taken up to a maximum of four times in a year, as there must be a gap of at least 90 days between the two tests. The test is a PBT (Paper Based Test) but some selected centers offer CBT (Computer Based Test) on request of the candidate.

How to Apply
The IELTS application form can be procured free of cost from the British Council. This, along with the necessary documents (as prescribed in the application form), needs to be submitted to the nearest British Council. The two versions do not carry the same weight and are not interchangeable.

The application form should be submitted at least 5 weeks before the examination date (as chosen by the candidate) or as per the slot-availability at the test centre where the candidate is interested in taking up the test.
