Where can you take IELTS and PTE in Dehradun?

IDP's booking form on 9 October 2026 listed Dehradun dates between 12 October and 31 December 2026 for IELTS on computer, Writing on Paper and IELTS for UKVI; Writing on Paper ran from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. IDP's Dehradun city page showed no dates the same day, so use the booking form.

IDP flags the Dehradun lab as having limited access for people with disabilities and names Karnal as the accessible alternative. Life Skills is not offered in Dehradun; the nearest Life Skills cities on IDP's list are New Delhi and Chandigarh.

Rudrapur is the other Uttarakhand city in IDP's directory, but it was not offered as a test city in the booking form, so Dehradun is the state's only bookable IELTS city.

The nearest other permanent IELTS labs are in Karnal and the Delhi region (see Delhi). For PTE, Maya Devi University is the only centre in Uttarakhand; the nearest alternatives are Budha Group of Institution in Karnal, HCL Tech - Kurukshetra and the Delhi NCR centres.

There is no local price: IDP and Pearson each charge one fee across India, so Dehradun 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 Dehradun-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 Dehradun - Ballupur Chowk 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 Dehradun 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.
