To make the OET slot booking, applicants need to have an online MyOET profile. The Cambridge Boxhill Language Assessment Trust (CBLA) conducts the OET Exam at multiple locations in India. Candidates need to complete the basic registration for the exam as all OET Test Centres would only have a limited number of seats available for candidates to the OET exam on a particular test date.

The OET exam is held multiple times around the year on specific dates and at test centres across major cities in India. Centres are located in Delhi, Mumbai, and other Indian cities. The test centres work on a first come first serve basis, and hence, candidates are usually advised to make OET slot booking early. Also, the exam conducting body offers OET at Home options to those applicants who don't want to appear at the exam centre. In this article, we are going to discuss OET slot booking and how to book an OET slot.

These exams are referred to as ELP or English Language Proficiency exams and are also for the purpose of submission for visa applications.
