HOW TO APPLY TO TAKE THE IELTS

You can apply for IELTS by simply walking in to the nearest British Council or by sending your application by courier.

If you are a candidate with special needs, we will make every effort to enable you to best understand questions and tasks and to give your answers. However, a notice period is necessary for the modified test version to be prepared and you should let us know 3 months in advance. Full details of this kind of arrangement are given on the IELTS website.

As the number of seats is limited for each test session, it will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Registration will close as soon as seats are filled up or 5 weeks before each test date, whichever is earlier, so the British Council reserves the right to reject any entries.
