IELTS

Two years. That is the standard rule. IDP India and all official IELTS partners confirm the score remains usable for exactly two years from your test date. After that it expires. Universities, visa offices, and employers usually refuse scores older than this. Language ability can fade if not practiced. So the two-year limit makes sense. Plan your applications carefully. Submit everything before the expiry hits.

Sometimes yes. For special arrangements due to disability you submit medical proof or doctor's certificate at least six weeks early. That helps get extra time, Braille paper, or other support. If your name changed recently and does not match the passport, bring legal proof like marriage certificate or gazette notification during registration.

Yes, but only a few things. During online or offline registration you upload or show a clear photocopy of your passport's first and last page. Sometimes the observation page too if it has any note. No educational certificates, photos, or birth proof required at that stage. The name on the passport must match exactly what you enter in the form. Any mismatch causes trouble later. IDP India checks this carefully to avoid issues on test day.

Your original valid passport. That is the only ID accepted on test day. IDP India and British Council both insist on this rule. You must use the exact same passport you submitted during registration. No other document like Aadhaar, voter ID, or driving licence works instead. If your passport is missing or expired, you cannot enter the test room and the fee gets forfeited. Keep it safe. Check the expiry date long before booking.

No approval is needed. You face zero waiting rule. Register whenever you feel ready. Pay the amount again. Select any available test day that suits your schedule. Students retake it two times, three times, even more. IDP India never objects. They simply process your new booking like the first one. Keep practicing. Improvement usually comes with each honest effort.

You can book immediately. No forced gap exists between tests. Slots open frequently in Delhi and other cities. Sometimes you find a date within the same week. For computer-based IELTS there is also One Skill Retake available. That lets you fix only the weak section within sixty days. Many students use this to boost their overall score fast.

No limit exists. You can attempt the test countless times if you wish. IDP India allows it without any restriction. People often retake it several times to reach the required band. Each new attempt means booking again and paying the fee once more. Nothing stops you from trying until you succeed.

Yes, a 15 years old candidates can take IELTS. But, IDP recommends candidates of 16 years or above to take the IELTS test. There is no maximum age limit to take this English test.
