IELTS Coaching classes Fees

The ILETS exam is not as easy as you think. No matter how hard you study, you will still not get the desired score in some cases. When this happens, you have two options to consider: take a retest or apply for reevaluation in case you're not sure about the score you got.

So, if you're going for the latter option, you will be required to fill an 'Enquiry on results' form. You can select which section you want to reevaluate — either one section or all, the cost will be the same and so is the time. However, the drawback will be that rescoring an exam will cost you almost the same as taking up a retest. It can take around 20 days to get your answers reevaluated. 

If you're wondering why the fee is so high for a reevaluation, then it is because of these reasons:

1. Your test scores will be sent to the UK, and you will fulfil the transport charges. 
2. Your test scores will be reevaluated by an IELTS examiner who has previously reevaluated multiple papers. Hence, having him/her to reevaluate will result in him doing the work all over again. Therefore, he is paid a certain amount to run through the process again.
3. Once reevaluated, the scores will be couriered back to you, and a new TRF will be printed and couriered to you. You will bear the cost of all these things. 
4. If reevaluation were free of charge, a lot of candidates would consider it. That would be a massive burden to the British Council.

Once you are done with the IELTS test, you need to wait for 13 days for your Test Report Form (TRF) to be issued. You can collect your TRF at any IDP offices near your area. However, you will have to bring a form of identity which you took to appear for the test in order to receive your Test Report Form. You will be provided with one original TRF unless you are applying for citizenship, you will be granted with two. Although, the proof needed to be shown for immigration to the specified country. 

The above process comes into play once your results have been announced. The first time you view your results will be online. 

Once you have acquired your original TRF, you can now proceed to apply for universities. You will be provided with five other TRF's to send to 5 different universities of your choice. In case you require more than 5, you will have to appeal before IDP and request to grant you an additional TRF. It is possible to get more than five report forms, although an additional fee will be charged from your end.

If you apply for an additional TRF after a month of the results being declared, the fee to pay will also increase. You will also be required to fill a form: "Application for the Issue of Additional TRFs". These charges are exclusive of the regular fees. 

Yes, GST applies to both the fees. According to the recent changes in the indirect taxes across the entire country, all the coaching institutes have to be extra careful. Whether it is a coaching class, tution class or training institute, if it’s making a revenue of more than 20 lakhs per annum, then they are liable to pay the GST and implement GST in their institutes.

Some institute has its company-owned centres across in multiple states. In such cases, they need to register themselves for every state GST separately. Training institute and coaching class will be getting a different GST number for every state. 

GST can be exempted only for those educational institutes or coaching centres that satisfy the following condition where education is a part of the curriculum for obtaining a qualification, which is recognised by any law.

IELTS exam is not part of any curriculum and passing IELTS exam does not give you any qualification. Therefore, coaching for IELTS and IELTS exam fee is leviable under GST.
