NOTE: In case any candidate is physically challenged, she/he needs to inform the staff at the time of registration for the examination or two months prior so that the authorities can create requirements as per the situation of the candidates.

At the IELTS test centre, designated staff are present to help differently abled candidates with the following arrangements: 

  • Braille Papers
  • Special Listening CDs in the listening test
  • Lip-reading version in the Speaking test

Achieving a good score in the IELTS exam will mark your entry into a top university or college of your choice. Therefore, prepare for IELTS systematically at home, practice various questions daily, and prioritise qualifying for the exam on your first attempt. 

However, upon achieving the required band, your study abroad process will require the commencement of other tasks like filling out university application, visa application, submission of SOP/LORs as part of profile building, etc. To make this process simpler, smooth, and well-guided, pick out any Yocket Premium plan based on your requirements. With a premium package, our expert counsellors will help you with everything from selecting universities to pre-departure.
