Who runs IELTS in Bangladesh

IELTS is jointly owned by the British Council, IDP IELTS and Cambridge University Press & Assessment. In Bangladesh you can book through the British Council or IDP. Both deliver the same test with the same scoring, so choose based on the date, venue and format that suits you.

Fees and available dates change, so always check the current amount and schedule on the official British Council Bangladesh or IDP Bangladesh website before you pay. Avoid unofficial agents asking for extra money.

Choose the right test

Before booking, confirm which version your university, employer or visa requires:

IELTS Academic: for university admission and some professional registration.
IELTS General Training: for work, training or migration in many countries.
IELTS for UKVI: required for some UK visa routes; check the UK government guidance for your visa.
Paper-based or computer-delivered: same content and scoring, but computer results are usually available faster.

What you need to book

You normally need a valid passport (the same one you bring on test day), a payment method accepted by the provider, and your preferred city and date. Book early in busy admission seasons because popular dates fill up.

Prepare before you pay

Taking a timed mock test first tells you whether you are ready for your target band. If your mock score is far below the target, booking a later date and practising for a few more weeks can save you the cost of a retake.
