IELTS for Agra candidates: Delhi NCR or Jaipur
Agra does not appear in IDP India's city directory or among the test cities in its online booking form. The nearest IDP venues are in Delhi NCR: Noida, New Delhi - Nehru Place and New Delhi - Pitampura (Delhi) and Gurugram, all on IDP's UKVI-approved list. Jaipur is a little further and also UKVI approved.
IELTS Life Skills, needed for some UK family visas, appears in IDP's booking form as New Delhi-South, one of 13 Life Skills cities.
| Test | Available in the city? | Notes and nearest alternative |
|---|---|---|
| IELTS on computer | No | Noida, New Delhi, Gurugram or Jaipur |
| IELTS Writing on Paper | No | Any of these (Jaipur had the most paper dates) |

Practical points for Agra test takers
Noida is the simplest single stop: it has an IDP lab with UKVI and a Pearson Professional Center. In the IDP booking form, Jaipur offered Writing on Paper on 41 dates to the end of 2026, against about 31 at each Delhi NCR lab.
IELTS and PTE fees for Agra candidates
Fees do not change by city. IDP charges one national price for IELTS (IDP India fee page) and Pearson sets one price for PTE in India (test centers and fees), so a test taken by a Agra candidate costs exactly what it costs in Delhi or Mumbai. Travelling to another city never makes the test cheaper; it only changes the dates and formats on offer. Figures read on 13 October 2026; see the IELTS fee in India and PTE fee in India guides for refund and transfer rules.
| Test | Fee in India (every city) |
|---|---|
| IELTS on computer (Academic or General Training) | INR 19,000 |
| IELTS Writing on Paper (Academic or General Training) | INR 19,000 |
| IELTS for UKVI | INR 19,250 |
| IELTS Life Skills (A1 or B1) | INR 18,000 |
| IELTS One Skill Retake | INR 12,650 |
| PTE Academic, PTE Academic UKVI or PTE Core | INR 18,900 |
| PTE Home (A1, A2 or B1) | INR 15,300 |
How to book from Agra, ID rules and results
IELTS: book online with IDP India, in person at an IDP branch or registration partner, or by courier (how to register). In the online form choose the test (IELTS on Computer, IELTS Writing on Paper, Computer-delivered IELTS for UKVI or Life Skills), then the module, then the test city. You need your passport to register, and you must carry the original passport on test day.
PTE: on pearsonpte.com choose the exact test first (PTE Academic, Academic UKVI or Core), then the city, centre and a slot at least 24 hours ahead (booking guide). Pearson's identification policy asks for a valid passport, and the name on your booking must match it exactly.
Results: IDP says IELTS on computer results arrive 1 to 2 days after the test (IDP FAQ), Writing on Paper results after 7 calendar days (IDP) and Life Skills results within seven days (IDP). Pearson says most PTE Academic results arrive within two business days, occasionally up to five (PTE Academic). Each attempt costs close to INR 19,000, so check your level first with a free IELTS mock test or free PTE mock test.
