IELTS is the most widely recognized English language proficiency test for individuals looking to study, work, or migrate abroad. During the IELTS registration process, you will be required to select your preferred city and test date, which may vary based on your location and the type of test you're taking.
The latest update on IELTS in India is the introduction of the "IELTS One Skill Retake" option, which allows test takers to focus on improving their scores in specific sections, including reading, writing, listening, and speaking. This option is available starting from March 2023.

Rescheduling and cancellation fees
To reschedule or cancel your IELTS test, you should contact the test center where you originally booked your test slot. Here's a breakdown of the IELTS cancellation and rescheduling process in simpler terms:
Situation 1: If you change your test date or cancel it more than 5 weeks before the exam, you'll get a partial refund after deducting administrative fees.
Situation 2: If you make changes or cancel within 5 weeks of the exam, you'll be charged the full test fee, and there will be no refund.
Situation 3: However, there are exceptions:
If you have a valid medical condition (serious illness, injury, bereavement, hardship, trauma, or military service) and can provide a medical certificate within 5 days of the exam, you may receive a partial refund after administrative fees.
In case you can't attend due to circumstances beyond your control, like a transport strike, the test center may offer you the next available IELTS slot.
