How much will IELTS registration cost me in India for the computer-delivered and paper-based tests?
IELTS registration in India costs Rs 19,000, and this fee is identical whether you choose the computer delivered test or the paper based test. If you need the test for a UK visa, the IELTS UKVI version costs slightly more at Rs 19,250 due to added checks.
Whether you book IELTS on Computer or IELTS on Paper, your registration fee in India comes to Rs 19,000 either way. There is no price difference between the two formats.
IELTS Fee Structure in India
| Test Type | Fee (INR) |
|---|---|
| IELTS on Computer | 19,000 |
| IELTS on Paper | 19,000 |
| IELTS for UKVI | 19,250 |
| IELTS Life Skills (A1/B1) | 18,000 |
Choosing Between the Two Formats
Since the fee is the same, pick the format based on your comfort rather than cost. Many test takers prefer the computer delivered version for its quicker results, while others feel more at ease writing on paper.
My Advice
Decide your format early based on how you actually write and think, not on any price difference, since there is none. If you are unsure, ask your test centre whether a practice session is available for the computer delivered format before you commit.
