Are IELTS exams available online or do I have to appear at a test center for a Master's?

You must appear at an authorized test center for the IELTS exam in India; the online (at-home) option is not available as of July 2026.

You can choose the computer-delivered IELTS at test centers, which offers multiple slots daily and results in 3 - 5 days. The paper-based format has been phased out in India.

For your planned Master's intake in September 2026, book your IELTS test early to secure your preferred date and location.
