Candidates planning to take the TOEFL exam should complete their TOEFL registration at least two to three months before their first university application deadline. This ensures sufficient time for their TOEFL scores to be sent to their chosen universities. To make the process more user-friendly, ETS has simplified the TOEFL 2025 registration into six easy steps.
To register, candidates must visit the official ETS TOEFL website and create or log in to their ETS account. They can then proceed with the TOEFL registration by selecting their preferred test date and the nearest test center. As part of the registration process, candidates must also pay the TOEFL registration fee of ₹16,900 INR.
ETS, the conducting body of the TOEFL exam, has introduced the TOEFL Test on Paper and the TOEFL Home Edition alongside the existing TOEFL iBT format. Candidates are encouraged to complete their TOEFL registration early, as test centers have limited seating capacity, especially considering safety measures. Additionally, during peak admission seasons, the demand for TOEFL exam slots increases, making early registration highly advisable.
The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is one of the most widely accepted English language proficiency tests for students planning to study abroad. The ETS TOEFL exam assesses all four essential academic English skills—reading, listening, speaking, and writing—as they are used in university classrooms. The test is designed to evaluate a candidate’s ability to communicate effectively in an English-speaking academic environment.
Since many universities require proof of English proficiency for admission, students must register for the TOEFL exam and submit their scores as part of their application process. The TOEFL registration process is straightforward and allows candidates the flexibility to take the exam at any time of the year. However, it is important to note that if a candidate wishes to retake the test, they must wait at least three days after their previous attempt before scheduling a new one.
