General Information

Make sure you go through the ETS policies and other details such as registrations, rescheduling, etc. before you begin the online registration.

Create an ETS account

 Before booking a slot, create an account for yourself on the ETS website. Make sure you have a valid passport which is the only identification proof for the test takers in India. You mustn’t carry the photocopy but the original passport. The First, Middle and Last Names should be the same as in the passport. In case you don’t have the last name mentioned in your passport then you need to repeat your first name as the last name. Fill in the other mandatory details and submit. Your account will be created.

Decide Your Test Date

After confirming the registration, you have to move to complete the last step, which is paying for the registration form.
