If there is no PTE centre in your city
Pearson listed no PTE centre in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (including Peshawar), Multan, Hyderabad, Sukkur or Azad Kashmir on 9 October 2026. Test takers there travel to the nearest listed city: Islamabad or Rawalpindi from Peshawar and the north, Karachi from interior Sindh, and Lahore or Faisalabad from southern Punjab.
Because each test needs only one trip (Speaking, Writing, Reading and Listening are taken in one sitting of about two hours), travelling is easier than for a test split across days. If that is not practical, IELTS is offered in more cities in Pakistan: see IELTS test centres in Pakistan.
