The exam itself
Booking the real PTE in Nepal: fee, dates, results.
PTE Academic is run by Pearson and taken on a computer at a test centre in Kathmandu. Every task is scored by computer, which is why speaking fluency and timing matter so much.
| What | Detail |
|---|---|
| Exam fee | USD 220 (about Rs 33,500), paid to Pearson |
| Length | About 2 hours, in one sitting |
| Where to book | Pearson PTE |
| Results | Most results in about 48 hours |
| Valid for | 2 years at most universities and visa offices |
| Score scale | 10 to 90 |
Memorised templates now cost marks: PTE's scoring flags them. We teach structure instead.
Choosing a test
Not sure it should be this test?
All three are accepted by most universities we work with. The right one is the one your university and your visa accept, and the one whose format suits you.
| At a glance | IELTS | PTE | TOEFL iBT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Format | On computer at a test centre (paper ended in Nepal after 27 June 2026); speaking with a live examiner | Computer; every task scored by computer | Computer; adaptive sections from January 2026 |
| Fee in Nepal | About Rs 36,000 | USD 220 (about Rs 33,500) | USD 195 (about Rs 29,700) |
| Results | 2 to 5 days (computer) | Usually 2 days | 4 to 8 days |
| Australia visa | Accepted | Accepted | Accepted |
| UK | Accepted everywhere | Accepted at most universities | Accepted at many universities |
| Europe | Accepted everywhere | Accepted at many | Often preferred in Germany and the Netherlands |
- Choose IELTS if you want to speak to a person, not a microphone.
- Pick PTE if you need the result within days and don't mind talking to a microphone instead of a person.
- Choose TOEFL if your university in Germany, the Netherlands or the US-style programme prefers it.

After your test
Then what?
Your score goes straight into your applications. If you study abroad through us, your counselling and visa file cost Rs 0 when the university pays us commission, and we start your shortlist the week your result arrives.
If you miss your target after attending 90% of classes, join the next batch free. Tell us your section scores and we'll put you in the right one.
An honest note
Skip this class if
- You freeze when speaking to a computer: try our IELTS level test too.
- Your test is in less than 2 weeks: book scored mocks instead.
- You want memorised templates: the current scoring penalises them, and we don't teach them.

FAQ
Before you join PTE classes.
How much are PTE classes in Kathmandu?
Ours cost Rs 13,500 for 5 weeks, in classes of up to 12, with 6 scored mock tests included. The PTE test itself (USD 220) is paid to Pearson.
How long does it take to prepare for PTE?
Most of our students take one 5 weeks batch. Students more than 15 points from their target often need two.
Is PTE better than IELTS for Nepali students?
For students who speak steadily and type well, often yes. For students who write well but pause when speaking, IELTS can be better. Our free level test shows which suits you.
Do PTE templates work?
Memorised templates are now penalised by the scoring. We teach structure you can use for any question instead.
What if I don't reach my PTE target?
If you attended 90% of classes and miss your target in the real test, the next batch is free.
