Introduction

Once you have received your IELTS test scores, the next step is to send them to your chosen universities. Most universities require official IELTS score reports directly from the testing center. This guide explains the different ways to send your IELTS scores, the fees involved, and the processing time.

Ways to Send Your IELTS Scores to Universities

1. Sending Scores During Registration (Free Option)

When booking your IELTS test, you can select up to five universities to receive your score for free. The test center will automatically send your Test Report Form (TRF) to these institutions.

2. Sending Scores After the Test (Additional Cost)

If you need to send your scores to more universities after receiving your results, you can request additional TRF copies for a fee.

Steps to Send Additional IELTS Score Reports:

1. Visit the official IELTS website or contact your test center.
2. Fill out the Additional Test Report Form (ATRF) with university details.
3. Pay the processing fee (varies by country and test center).
4. Choose the delivery method:
   • Electronic submission (faster and preferred by most universities).
   • Courier or airmail (may take longer).
5. Wait for processing – Electronic reports are sent within 2–5 days, while postal delivery may take up to 4 weeks.

How Universities Receive IELTS Scores

• Electronic Scores – Many universities prefer direct electronic delivery, which is quicker and more secure.
• Hard Copy (Paper TRF) – Some institutions require a physical copy sent via courier. Check university requirements before selecting the method.

Fees and Processing Time

• First five reports – Free (if selected at registration).
• Additional score reports – Fees range from ₹250 to ₹1,500 per report, depending on delivery method.
• Processing time – 2 to 5 business days for electronic reports, longer for postal delivery.
