Yes, you should start IELTS coaching immediately to meet the application deadlines for the January 2027 intake in the UK.

Universities usually require applications between June and November 2026. Taking the IELTS between June and August 2026 is recommended, as this gives you enough time to prepare, receive your scores, and retake if needed.

Starting your coaching now will help ensure you are ready for all key deadlines.
