Summary

  • We highly recommend candidates verify the TOEFL exam dates 2025 and TOEFL dates in India on the official ETS website to ensure they have the most current and accurate information.
  • The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is a standardized test that assesses the English language proficiency of non-native speakers.
  • The interest among Indian students has seen a remarkable uptick, with a 59% increase in TOEFL test takers since the resumption of international travel post-COVID-19.

Knowing the TOEFL exam dates for 2025 ahead of time, in your preferred location, will set you up for success. Universities need your TOEFL scores before they can consider your application. Schedule your test date at least 2-3 months before your earliest deadline. It takes 4-16 business days for your TOEFL scores to reach universities after your test date. Factor this in when planning. To make sure everything goes smoothly, you need to plan your TOEFL exam dates well in advance. 

Note: There are two main ways to take the TOEFL:

  1. TOEFL iBT Home Edition: This version lets you take the test from the comfort of your home. It’s available 24 hours a day, 4 days a week. You’ll need specific equipment and a suitable testing environment.
  2. TOEFL iBT Test: This is the traditional test taken at a testing center. You’ll need to book a date through the official ETS website, and we’ll cover the whole process in detail.

This guide will explain everything you need to know about TOEFL dates in India for 2025. 

What is the TOEFL exam?

The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is a standardized test that assesses the English language proficiency of non-native speakers. This standardised test shows universities that you understand English well enough to succeed in their programs.

Most universities in English-speaking countries require a strong TOEFL score as part of your application. The TOEFL is accepted by over 12,000 institutions across more than 160 countries. It’s particularly preferred in popular study destinations like the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.

The TOEFL is organised by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), a non-profit based in the United States. 

Every year, thousands of Indian students take the TOEFL exam. The interest among Indian students has seen a remarkable uptick, with a 59% increase in TOEFL test takers since the resumption of international travel post-COVID-19. 

Major cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, and others lead in the number of TOEFL test takers.

Understanding the TOEFL exam dates and the process of selecting the right TOEFL dates in India is crucial. You’ll need to know your city’s TOEFL exam dates in 2025 to plan your study abroad journey. Remember, you want to take the test well in advance of your university application deadlines.

Important Note: The TOEFL iBT test is offered multiple times throughout the year. The dates below are a good starting point, but always double-check the official ETS website (we’ll tell you how later) for the most up-to-date availability in your area.
