Who runs IELTS in Bangladesh
IELTS in Bangladesh is delivered by the British Council and by IDP IELTS. Both offer the same test, the same scoring and the same globally-recognised result — you can register with whichever is more convenient for your city and dates. Both computer-delivered and paper-based formats are available in the major cities.
Where you can sit the test
Test centres operate in the main cities, with the widest choice of dates in Dhaka:
- Dhaka — the most frequent sessions and both test formats.
- Chattogram (Chittagong) — regular sessions.
- Sylhet — regular sessions, popular with applicants to the UK.
- Other cities such as Rajshahi and Khulna may have sessions depending on the provider and demand.
备注
Exact centres, available dates and formats change over time. Confirm the current options on the official British Council Bangladesh or IDP IELTS website before you plan travel.
How to register
- 1Choose your test type — Academic (for university study) or General Training (for most migration and work), and computer or paper format.
- 2Register online through the British Council or IDP website, or at their offices.
- 3Use a valid passport — it is the standard identity document for IELTS in Bangladesh, and the same passport must be presented on test day.
- 4Pay the test fee to confirm your booking, then note your test date and (separately scheduled) Speaking slot.
Fees change — check before you pay
The IELTS fee in Bangladesh is set by the providers and is revised periodically (it has generally been in the region of BDT 22,000–23,000 for the standard Academic and General Training tests, with different fees for UKVI and Life Skills). Always confirm the current fee on the official site rather than relying on a figure you read second-hand.
How to prepare for free
Coaching centres are common in Bangladesh, but you can make serious progress on your own with structured practice. The most efficient approach is to test under real conditions, see where you lose marks, and target those specific weaknesses:
- Take full, timed practice tests in the format you'll sit — reading on screen and typing essays if you've chosen the computer test.
- Use the scoring guides on this site to understand exactly how Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking are marked.
- Focus your time on your weakest skill — because all four are weighted equally, that's where a band is easiest to gain.
- Get feedback on Writing and Speaking, where most self-study candidates plateau without an outside view.
要点总结
- IELTS in Bangladesh is run by the British Council and IDP — same test, choose by city and date.
- Centres operate in Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet and other cities; Dhaka has the most dates.
