Yes. The PTE exam slots are available on weekends in India. But they tend to fill out fast, weeks in advance. So, you need to be careful and book in advance.

No. As an Indian citizen, you can only present a physical copy of a valid passport on the day of your PTE exam. A passport is required, whether or not you're applying from outside or inside India. 

The current PTE Exam fee in India for 2026 is INR 18,900, inclusive of 18% taxes. This covers your test and score reporting. Sending digital scorecards to universities is free. 

For the PTE exam, you must carry your original, valid and non-expired passport. It is the primary and strictly required identification document.

If you don't have your passport yet and have applied for it, then you can also mention your application details. OR, you can request or inform the test centre authorities about your case and request them to allow you for bringing an alternate govt. ID at the exam centre on the day of the PTE exam.
