The applicable fee is generally inclusive of taxes, but candidates should verify the amount displayed on the official booking portal before payment because fees are subject to change.

Applicable conditions and deadlines should be checked before requesting a transfer.

The EOR fee and applicable rules are subject to the current terms of the test provider.

How Can You Pay the IELTS Fee?

The IELTS fee in India can be paid through methods provided by IDP, including credit/debit cards and net banking. Offline payment options such as Demand Draft or bank deposit may also be available through the registration process.

Important Note

IELTS does not have a single annual application window. Candidates can book an available test date throughout the year, depending on test-centre and slot availability.

Before paying the fee, make sure you select the correct test type—Academic, General Training, UKVI or Life Skills—according to the requirements of your university, employer or immigration authority.

IELTS does not have one fixed examination date. It is conducted throughout the year, allowing candidates to choose an available test date according to their preparation, location and application deadline. Availability depends on the selected test type, city and test centre.

IELTS Test Availability in India

IDP IELTS India currently provides multiple test locations across the country, and candidates can select an available date and time while booking their test.

How to Check Available IELTS Dates

Candidates can check the latest available dates while booking through the official IELTS/IDP registration portal.

Step 1: Select the required IELTS test type.
Step 2: Choose your city or test centre.
Step 3: View the available dates and time slots.
Step 4: Select a convenient slot and complete the booking.

The availability of dates can differ between cities and test centres, so candidates should check the booking calendar before planning their test.

When Should You Book IELTS?

There is no universal last date for IELTS registration. It is generally advisable to book the test well before the university, visa or application deadline, giving enough time for the result and, where applicable, another attempt.

Candidates should also check the required IELTS band score and validity requirements of their university or relevant authority before selecting a test date.

Important Note

IELTS is available year-round, so there is no need to follow an annual exam calendar like entrance examinations such as JEE or SLAT. The date is selected by the candidate from the slots available at the chosen centre.

Students planning overseas education can also get assistance with IELTS planning, country and university selection, course selection, application timelines and admission documentation.

IELTS is conducted at multiple authorised test centres across India, giving candidates the flexibility to choose a location based on availability. The official IELTS test-centre finder currently lists 159 test-centre results in India, with options varying by city, test type and delivery format.
