Where can you take IELTS and PTE in Amritsar?

IDP's booking form on 9 October 2026 listed Amritsar sessions on 54 dates between 14 October and 31 December 2026 for IELTS on computer, Writing on Paper and IELTS for UKVI alike. Computer and UKVI tests ran from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Writing on Paper from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

IDP's UKVI list marks Amritsar as an accessible centre, and when it flags the Bathinda and Jalandhar labs as having limited access for people with disabilities, it points test takers here. If you need a ground-level venue or other arrangements, this is the lab to choose in the region.

Life Skills is not offered in Amritsar; the nearest Life Skills city is Jalandhar.

Gurdaspur appears in IDP's city directory but was not offered as a test city in the booking form on 9 October 2026, and neither was Jammu. That makes Amritsar the nearest permanent IELTS lab for much of the area, with Hoshiarpur and Jalandhar as the next options.

For PTE, Amritsar is the only Punjab city where every listed centre is run by Pearson. The nearest other centres are in Jalandhar (three) and Jammu (one).

There is no local price: IDP and Pearson each charge one fee across India, so Amritsar costs the same as Delhi or Kerala. IELTS figures are from IDP India's fee page and match the prices IDP's booking form showed for Amritsar-area sessions on 9 October 2026; PTE figures are from Pearson's price finder. Refund and transfer rules are in our IELTS fee in India and PTE fee in India guides.

IELTS: on IDP India's site choose Register for IELTS, then the test (IELTS on Computer, IELTS Writing on Paper, IELTS for UKVI or Life Skills), the module, and Amritsar as the test city; the dates and session times shown there are the live ones (how to register). You can also register in person at an IDP branch or registration partner. Upload a clear colour scan of your passport when you book and bring the original on test day. Speaking can fall on a different day, up to 7 days before or after the written test.

PTE: on pearsonpte.com choose the test first (Academic, Academic UKVI, Core or Home), then type Amritsar or the nearest centre city; only centres with slots for that test appear, and slots open at least 24 hours ahead (Pearson's booking guide). Enter your name exactly as on your passport, middle names in Given names; details can be corrected up to 3 days before the test, and a mismatch on the day means no test and no refund.

Results: IDP says most IELTS on computer results arrive within 2 days, Writing on Paper results after 7 calendar days, and Life Skills results within seven days. Pearson says most PTE Academic results arrive within two business days, occasionally up to five.
