ABOUT IELTS
Guide to IELTS
IELTS, also known as the ‘International English Language Testing System’, is a standardised test designed to assess the English language proficiency of non-native English speakers. IELTS is developed and run by the British Council in partnership with IDP Education and Cambridge Assessment English. It is widely recognised and accepted by educational institutions, employers, immigration authorities, and professional bodies worldwide. IELTS is the world’s most popular English test for pursuing higher education and global migration to the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and other countries.
Structure of IELTS
This test focuses on all four language skills: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. It takes approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes to complete. Most universities accept band scores from 6 to more. For professional courses like medicine, a minimum score of 7 is essential.
Structure for the Examination
SECTION | NO OF QUESTIONS | DURATION | MARKS |

SPEAKING | Direct interviews with task to talk on some topic | 11-14 minutes | 0-9 band scale with 0.5 band increment |

IELTS Score Range
The IELTS score ranges on a 0-9 band scale, each band score corresponding to a level of English-language competence. A 9-band score indicates the test taker has a fully operational command of the language. In contrast, a 5-band score signifies the test taker has partial command of the language and copes with overall meaning in most situations.
