Where can you take IELTS and PTE in Rajkot?

Pearson's test centre finder lists two centres in Rajkot: Trans Globe Education and Shri Labhubhai Trivedi Institute of Eng and Tech. Both are partner venues rather than Pearson Professional Centers. The nearest Pearson Professional Center is in Ahmedabad, one of four PTE centres there.

Pearson's finder does not show which centre runs which PTE test on which day, so pick PTE Academic, Academic UKVI or Core first; the booking page then shows only centres with slots for that test.

If you need IELTS Life Skills for a UK family visa, IDP offers it in 13 Indian cities (Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jalandhar, Kochi, Kolkata, Mumbai (South), New Delhi (South), Pune, Surat and Vadodara); from Rajkot the nearest is Ahmedabad. For everything else, Rajkot covers both tests, so you can compare IELTS and PTE dates without leaving the city.

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 Rajkot 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.

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 "Rajkot - Nana Mauva Circle". 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.
