IELTS Exam Registration: Simple Steps to Book the Exam

//

Many students often feel confused about IELTS Exam Registration. Sometimes, they end up filing wrong details and don’t cross-check them in their candidate login afterwards. Before doing IELTS, we suggest everyone apply for their Passport as soon as possible to avoid any harassment since a passport is mandatory to book the IELTS exam.

Sometimes, they go to nearby IELTS institutes or computer cafes and pay extra for the exam booking. It’s a simple process that can be done at home.

Some students are advised by their neighbours or peers to take the IELTS exam in faraway cities because of the ongoing myths that are far from reality. It’s a myth, and we have written a blog about it, which can clear the doubts in the reader’s mind.

Let’s see how to do IELTS Exam Registration in India at home without wasting any more time.

The official website for IELTS India is IELTS IDP India. You will see the Register for IELTS Option in the Header on the home page. Click on the drop-down option and then ‘Book Now.’

Second step of IELTS Registration is to fill the registration details. It asks more details about the current employment or education details and the country to target and why are you going to foreign country

The details in the red column do not help the IELTS examiner with any IELTS decision, nor do IELTS share this data with any Embassy. They are for their internal data collection, possibly to know who is filing their exams so they can prepare strategies accordingly. However, still, if you are still a bit hesitant about the below options, we have made it easy for you. The first option is for Academic courses for more than three years. For PR purposes, choose ‘For Immigration’; for work permit purposes, choose ‘For Employment option’.

It's the part of second process and if you are going for higher education for more than 3 months, choose first option. Again it's the part of second process. Choose your favorite country to immigrate. These are not used for visa purposes. You can choose any country you want.

When you take the exam, take a coloured printout of your passport front and back (which is mandatory to carry whether you load the scanned copies or not). You may get a text message related to it if you don’t upload it. Please ignore it. It’s a system-based text message.
