IELTS booking in Nepal: everything you need before you pick a date

How IELTS booking works in Nepal

You choose a test type, a format, a city and a date. You register with your passport details, pay the test fee, and receive your confirmation. Registration closes before the test date, usually about six days earlier, so booking early matters.

On bookyourielts.com we show the open dates and seats in one place. When you find a date, tap Book this date, choose your exam preferences and add your details. At the very last step we hand you to our team, who confirm your seat and explain payment. Nothing is paid on this website.

Step by step

1. Open the IELTS test dates and filter by city, test type, format and month.
2. Check the fee, seats left and the registration closing date on the date you like.
3. Log in or create a free account. We take you straight back to your date.
4. Review the summary and confirm. We then hand you to our team to finish.
5. Our team confirms the seat and explains payment. Keep your passport ready, because the name on it must match your booking.

Choose the right test type

• IELTS Academic is for university admission and professional registration.
• IELTS General Training is for work experience, training and migration. Not sure which? Read Academic vs General Training.
• IELTS UKVI (Academic or General Training) is for some UK visa and immigration applications. Book it only if your visa guidance asks for it.
• IELTS Life Skills tests Speaking and Listening only and is used for some UK visa routes.

Computer or Writing on Paper?

In Nepal you can take IELTS on computer, or on computer with Writing on Paper, where you handwrite the Writing test. Computer-delivered results usually arrive sooner, in about three to five days. Writing on Paper takes longer, usually around thirteen days, is offered at fewer centres and is not available for UKVI. Details are in our guide to IELTS on computer in Nepal.

Where you can take IELTS

Test dates are held in several cities across Nepal. Each city has its own schedule:

The Speaking test is on a different slot

Listening, Reading and Writing are taken one after another on your test date. The Speaking test is a short face-to-face conversation with an examiner and is booked as a separate slot, normally within about seven days before or after your main test day. Plan for both, especially if you are travelling from outside the test city.

What it costs

The fee depends on the test type and format, and it can change. Every date on our schedule shows its current fee in Nepali rupees. See the IELTS fee in Nepal page for a live overview.

What to bring on test day

• The original passport you registered with. No photocopies.
• Your booking confirmation.
• A clear water bottle without a label.

Phones, bags, watches and notes are kept outside the test room, so travel light.

Tips to book without stress

• Book as soon as a suitable date appears. Popular cities and computer sessions fill first.
• Check the registration closing date, not just the test date.
• Make sure your name, spelling and passport number are exactly as in your passport.
• If you cannot see a date for your city, send us an inquiry and we will message you when one opens.
