TU Eindhoven TOEFL test rules
Only the internet-based TOEFL iBT is accepted, taken at home or at a test centre. All scores must come from one test date, and MyBest scores are not accepted. Results must be no older than two years. You must upload your official score report in the application form, and TU/e verifies TOEFL results using your appointment number. The page lists typical TOEFL result times of 4 to 8 days.
For comparison, the same page asks for IELTS Academic 6.5 with at least 6.0 per section, and does not accept IELTS online or One Skill Retake.

If your TOEFL score is below TU Eindhoven's level
TU/e says no other language tests are accepted beyond those listed, and it must be able to verify your result before the final application deadline. Book a retake early enough for the new score to arrive in time.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your TU/e programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
