When should I plan to give the English language test for my study abroad application in Germany/Netherlands?

Plan to take your IELTS exam by June 2026 for your September 2027 intake in the Netherlands, Germany, or Italy. This ensures your scores remain valid (IELTS is valid for 2 years) throughout your application period.
IELTS exams in India are available as both paper-based (up to 4 times/month) and computer-delivered (up to 3 times/day, 7 days/week) at major centers.
Scheduling your test by June 2026 gives you enough time for preparation and aligns with typical university requirements. If you need help with booking or preparation, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
