IELTS in Khanna: venue and formats
Khanna appears on IDP's UKVI and One Skill Retake centre page as an IELTS on computer lab with One Skill Retake, without the UKVI Approved mark, and with a note suggesting Ludhiana for candidates with disabilities. On 13 October 2026 IDP's booking form offered IELTS on computer and Writing on Paper on 51 dates each between 16 October and 30 December 2026, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends.
The form also listed IELTS for UKVI sessions in Khanna from 1 November 2026. If you need a UKVI test, check the venue on your confirmation, or book Ludhiana or Patiala, both on IDP's UKVI-approved list.

Practical points for Khanna test takers
For a standard IELTS Academic or General Training test you can stay in Khanna. Ludhiana is the back-up for everything Khanna lacks: step-free access, a UKVI-approved lab and PTE, all in one city.
IELTS and PTE fees for Khanna 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 Khanna 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 Khanna, 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; IDP lists this one as "Khanna". 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.
