PTE in Uzbekistan — Tashkent centre, fee and when IELTS is the better choice

PTE Academic is offered in Tashkent and returns results in about 48 hours, and it is accepted for UK, Australian and New Zealand visas. But El-Yurt Umidi, the state fee refund and the local universities publish IELTS thresholds, so most Uzbek candidates still need IELTS. Use PTE when your destination accepts it and you score higher on it.
