Overview

What is the TOEFL iBT?

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) assesses applicants whose native language is not English, primarily for North American English proficiency. Approximately 2,400 educational institutes in the US and Canada evaluate TOEFL scores, and universities and institutes from over 130 countries accept them.

Developed, processed, and administered by the US-based Educational Testing Service (ETS), TOEFL is mandatory for Undergraduate, MS, PhD, and most MBA courses worldwide. Government, licensing, certification agencies, and scholarship programmes also use TOEFL scores. Minimum score requirements vary between 61–100 depending on the programme.

CELECT is a Market Ambassador of ETS — our students receive up to 20% discount on the TOEFL exam fee, bringing the cost down from ₹16,900 to approximately ₹12,000.
