The IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is a widely recognized English language proficiency test that is accepted by educational institutions and professional organizations worldwide. It assesses the language skills of individuals seeking to study or work in environments where English is the primary means of communication.

In India, the IELTS exam is available throughout the year, with test dates offered every day at more than 50 locations across the country.
