Hi Sauvik,
It's hard to compare, both TPR and Manhattan are quite popular. One way to find out is by visiting the centers and find out the statistics. Try to get in touch with ex and current students. Compare the study materials and the schedule, most importantly are the instructors certified? Diagnostic tests are important, enquire how realistic are the mock tests with the actual tests. Finally it's upto an individual how he deals with competitive tests no matter what. So choose the center as per your suitability.
Hope this helped. Please feel free to revert for any clarification.

Hello Jayesh,
Have you decided the country to apply for?

Hello Simon,
Both the test as you know are English language proficiency tests. IELTS has two parts out out of which you must give IELTS Academic. Both the tests that is IELTS and TOEFL will test the following Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. To learn more about the test formats please check the official websites -

You will find online test prep materials online too. Hope this helps.

Both are accepted. Though, IELTS is preferred.

If you are planning to apply for universities, you can. If you are planning to apply for community colleges, you cannot.

To study in Poland, you particularly don't require IELTS or TOEFL. Some of the universities may ask for it. As it's not an English speaking country but from visa interview point of view, it's good to appear in order to support your file.

It particularly depends on the country you're looking forward to. As many European countries don't ask for IELTS as a mandate whereas for UK, Canada and Australia, it's a mandate to have one of the preferred English proficiency test.

Hi Mohit,
Universities do allow applicants to submit their application forms. However, your application will not be evaluated until and unless you submit all of your test and academic scores. I will suggest you write to the university, they will guide you accordingly. Good luck.
