The selected IELTS slot is for your Listening, Reading, and Writing tests. Your Speaking test is scheduled separately.

The IELTS slot for your Speaking Test is assigned to you automatically. This will be assigned to you 10 days before the IELTS slot for your Listening, Reading, and Writing Modules. You will be informed about your Speaking Slot via SMS or Email. 
 

Generally, the Speaking Test is scheduled 4-7 days before or after your other tests. 

However, IDP now allows you to choose your IELTS Speaking slot yourself. This option is available for all Indian candidates who opt for a paper-based IELTS. 

Log into your account and book your slot 15 days before the IELTS Test date.  If you haven't chosen a slot for other modules until 10 days before your IELTS slot, you will automatically be assigned a Speaking slot.

Test Centres in India

In order to get an IELTS Slot in your preferred test centre, book your slots early.

If needed, you can cancel your IELTS Exam Slot. You can apply for cancellation only if the test date is at least 15 days from your application date. 
 

If the test date is beyond 15 days, and the payment is made via online mode, then you can apply for cancellation. However, you need to provide supporting documents. The cancellation will be done only if IELTS IDP approves the request. 
 

Important points to note:
 

• Cancellation requests received less than 15 days before the original test date will not be accepted, and no refund will be given to the candidate in this case. 
• The amount of refund received upon cancellation depends on the time period of your request:
  • At least 5 weeks ahead of your test date: A full refund will be received.
  • Within 5 weeks of your test date: If there is a compelling reason(along with the required documents), then you receive a refund with a 25% deduction; otherwise, there is no refund.
• If the test date exceeds 34 days, you can cancel your IELTS Slot without uploading any supporting documents. However, you will have to enter your reason for the cancellation.

The supporting documents remain the same for both cancellation and test rescheduling.  You can contact your test centre for the latest information regarding the process.
