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.
Your target
The TOEFL score your plan needs.
These are the scores Nepali students most often need. Your university and your visa set the final number.
| For | Score | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Master's in Germany or the Netherlands, typical ask | TOEFL iBT 88 to 90 (0 to 120 scale) | Our shortlists |
| Master's in Finland, typical ask | TOEFL iBT 79 to 92 | Our shortlists |
| Australian student visa | The equivalent Home Affairs lists | Register through the Australia pathway |
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
- Your university asks only for IELTS or PTE: take that test instead.
- You're studying from pre-2026 TOEFL books: they no longer match the test.
- Your test is in less than 2 weeks: book mock tests instead.
