From the free level test to the real IELTS
Starting score from our free level test, final score from the real test.
IELTS5.5to7.0
Nursing master's, Australia
My writing was stuck at 6.0 and I couldn't see why. Sarita ma'am marked 12 of my Task 2 essays and showed me where each argument fell apart. 6 weeks later I had 7.0, enough for my nursing master's.
Sujata B.5.5 on our free level test, 7.0 in the real IELTS after 6 weeks 
IELTS5.5to6.5
Master's in the UK, 6.5 in every band
I missed 6.5 in reading by half a band on my first test and thought I'd have to pay for the course again. They put me in the next batch free for 2 weeks. Second test, 6.5 in every band.
Kabita R.5.5 on our free level test, 6.5 in the real IELTS after 8 weeks 
IELTS5.0to6.5
Bachelor's in Australia
I work during the day, so the 7 am batch was the only one I could take. Timed listening practice every morning took my listening from 5.0 to 7.0. Overall I went from 5.0 to 6.5.
Dipak G.5.0 on our free level test, 6.5 in the real IELTS after 8 weeks

The exam itself
The IELTS exam in Nepal: fee, dates and results
The real IELTS is run by the British Council and IDP. Most tests in Nepal are now computer-delivered, at test centres in Kathmandu and other cities, with dates several times a week.
| What | Detail |
|---|---|
| Exam fee | NPR 36,000 for Academic or General Training (computer-delivered); UKVI about NPR 36,400. As of September 2026. |
| Where to book | IDP Nepal or British Council Nepal |
| Results | Usually within a few days for computer-delivered tests |
| Valid for | 2 years for most universities and visas |
| One Skill Retake | Retake one skill instead of the whole test, for a lower fee; check the current price when you book |
Book your test date before your application deadline, not after your last class. A result that arrives a week late can cost you an intake.
IELTS, PTE or TOEFL?

After your test
Then what?
Your score is the start of your application, not the end. Every class student gets a free counselling session: which universities your band opens, what the full cost is, and when to apply.
If you'd rather apply on your own, that's fine too. The class fee doesn't tie you to our counselling.
An honest note
This isn't the right class for you if
- You need your score in under 2 weeks. We'll tell you honestly if a short course won't move your band.
- You want a guaranteed band. Nobody can promise one, and anyone who does is selling the promise.
- You need OET (for nurses) or Duolingo. We don't teach them.
- You want online classes only. Ours are in New Baneshwor.
Where we teach
Classes run in our New Baneshwor classroom, morning, midday and evening, Sunday to Friday. Come for your free level test any weekday, or book a time.

Questions about IELTS classes
How much do IELTS classes cost in Kathmandu?
Ours cost Rs 12,500 for 6 weeks, Rs 9,500 for 4 weeks or Rs 15,000 for 8 weeks, with books, 8 full mock tests and 4 one-to-one speaking sessions included. The level test and demo class are free.
What is the IELTS exam fee in Nepal?
NPR 36,000 for Academic or General Training on computer, and about NPR 36,400 for UKVI, as of September 2026. Book with IDP or the British Council, and check the fee on the booking page.
Is 3 months enough for IELTS?
For most students, yes. Our students gained 0.9 band on average in 6 weeks. If you're starting at 5.0 and need 7.0, plan for 3 months or more. The free level test gives you a realistic estimate.
Can I get 7.5 in IELTS in one month?
Only if you're already close, around 7.0 in the level test. A one-month course usually moves a band by half a point, not more.
Do you offer online IELTS classes?
No. Timed mocks and speaking practice work better in the room, so all our classes are in New Baneshwor.
How long is an IELTS score valid?
Most universities and visas accept scores up to 2 years old. Check the date rule for each application.
Is IELTS or PTE easier for Nepali students?
Neither is easier for everyone. PTE suits students who are comfortable on a computer and want fast results; IELTS is accepted more widely across countries. See our PTE classes or ask at the level test.
What happens if I don't reach my target?
Join the next batch free for 2 weeks. Kabita, above, missed by 0.5 and got 6.5 in every band on her second try.
