What is the fee for the IELTS exam, and is it available online or offline?
The IELTS exam fee in India for 2026 is ₹19,000 for both Academic and General Training tests. This applies to both computer-delivered and paper-based formats.
Paper-based IELTS is being discontinued after late June 2026, so computer-delivered tests will be the main option. An online (at-home) version of the Academic IELTS is also available, though its acceptance varies by country and institution and is subject to change.
If you need help choosing the right IELTS format for your plans, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
