TOEFL vs IELTS
The TOEFL and the IELTS probably top the list with regard to the sheer number of students across the world needing to undertake one or the other to demonstrate English language proficiency. The widest possible selection of universities and colleges accept TOEFL scores, including the top 100 in the UK, U.S, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The IELTS is a mandatory exam for Indian and other non-native English speakers, especially in the Commonwealth countries, for entry into most reputed universities and colleges overseas, and occasionally for immigration requirements as well.
The TOEFL is held throughout the year, usually on weekends; the TOEFL is to be held only on weekends, both in the metros and the tier 2 and tier 3 cities.
To take up IELTS, you can book your slot at any recognised IDP test centres.
