IELTS fee changes and what they mean for study-abroad applicants
আইইএলটিএস ফি পরিবর্তন: বিদেশে পড়তে ইচ্ছুকদের জন্য এর মানে কী
A short explainer on the new fee schedule, retake policy and when to book.
Key points
- The test provider published a new fee schedule effective next month.
- One-skill retakes remain available at a reduced fee.
- Booking before the effective date locks in the current fee.
What changed
The test provider's demo notice sets a new fee schedule from next month. The full-test fee rises; the one-skill retake fee is unchanged.
Who it affects
Anyone booking a test date after the effective date pays the new fee. Bookings made before that date keep the current fee, even for later test dates.
What to do
- If you are within three months of applying, book now.
- If you failed one band, a one-skill retake is cheaper than a full retest.
- Check your target university's minimum band before paying for a retake.
